Model Laws for Deep Decarbonization in the United States

https://lpdd.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/LPDD-long-video-CAPTIONS.mp4

  • This website is for legislators and advocates at the federal, state and local levels who seek to achieve deep reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.

  • It contains over 50 model laws that are a starting place for discussion and collaboration among elected officials, non-profit groups and the private sector.

  • Also included are Top 10 Lists of some of the most interesting model laws and other resources for electric vehicles, public utility commissions, buildings and other topics.

  • In addition, we provide more than 2,000 other laws that state and local governments have adopted or proposed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

  • The LPDD outreach team actively works with NGOs, state and local government agencies and industry trade associations to respond to their issues and concerns.

This website provides educational information. It does not, nor is it intended to, provide legal advice. No attorney-client relationship is established by use of this site. Consult with an attorney for any needed legal advice. There is no warranty of accuracy, adequacy or comprehensiveness. Those who use information from this website do so at their own risk.

Laws vary considerably from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The model legal documents on this website are not specific to any jurisdiction. They should be viewed solely as a starting point for legislators, policymakers and interested stakeholders, and would need to be adapted and modified to the particularities of local, county, state, federal and other legal systems in consultation with an attorney licensed to practice and experienced in the drafting and enactment of legislation in that jurisdiction.
