Western Climate Initiative

The Western Climate Initiative is made up of seven Western states and three Canadian provinces working together to reduce our region’s output of global warming pollution. 

 The WCI set overall reduction goals during the summer of 2007 and this July, they will release initial recommendations for a design of how to achieve those goals. You can encourage decision-makers to design a fair, effective system.
