Some US states are at the cutting edge of climate change policy while other states have done next to nothing. Climate action comes in varying shapes and sizes but the end goal is always to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions - primarily CO2 and methane. These GHG reductions can be found in transportation, manufacturing, building sustainability, agriculture, land preservation, and more. While technology is a huge driver of our ability to reduce emissions, the “free market” isn’t handling climate change as fast as it should be. Many US state governments are opting to intervene with policies that reign in polluters and encourage sustainable behavior.
