The Menu is broadly divided into three segments: Reduce, Remove and Adapt. “Reduce” covers policies to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that cause global climate change. “Remove” covers policies that, on net, remove GHGs from the atmosphere (sometimes referred to as carbon dioxide removal, or CDR).” Adapt” covers policies that help society to be more resilient and to adapt to the climate change we’re unable to avoid through emission reduction and carbon removal.
One can navigate through the Menu in several ways: by segment (Reduce, Remove, Adapt), by sector of the economy (electricity, transportation, industry, residential and commercial buildings, and agriculture and forestry), and by Congressional Committee of Jurisdiction. Since many policies have multiple applications, one can learn about them through several points of entry. Within each segment, the Menu provides summaries of the major policy options, including a brief description, design considerations, U.S. experience, additional resources, and relationship to other policies.
We welcome user input to build out and update the Menu over time, and to make it as easy to use as possible. Please provide your feedback here. READ MORE
