United States Climate Action Partnership

Welcome to the U.S. Climate Action Partnership (USCAP) Web Site

United States Climate Action Partnership (USCAP) is a group of businesses and leading environmental organizations that have come together to call on the federal government to quickly enact strong national legislation to require significant reductions of greenhouse gas emissions. USCAP has issued a landmark set of principles and recommendations to underscore the urgent need for a policy framework on climate change. More >

Our Proposal: A Blueprint for Legislative Action

Our consensus report, titled A Blueprint for Legislative Action, is a detailed framework for legislation to address climate change. It is a direct response to federal policymakers who recognize, as we do, that well-crafted legislation can spur innovation in new technologies, help create jobs and provide a foundation for a vibrant, low-carbon economy.
