Model Laws for Deep Decarbonization in the United States

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.
