COP-21: U.S. Climate Policy: Implementing the President’s Climate Action Plan

Sponsor: The White House

Event Summary: The United States is on track to reach its 2020 target and has announced an ambitious target to reduce emissions by 26-28% below 2005 levels by 2025. This target roughly doubles the pace of carbon pollution reduction in the United States. This session will include a moderated panel in which panelists from relevant U.S. federal government agencies will discuss and answer questions about the policies in the Climate Action Plan including the Clean Power Plan for the electricity sector, fuel efficiency standards for vehicles, energy efficiency standards, and economy-wide measures to reduce other greenhouse gases.
