Abstract:
Strong and effective measures are needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prevent costly and potentially catastrophic environmental and economic damage as a result of climate change. The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities' area of expertise is not in environmental policy per se but in the impacts that climate-change policies can have on the budgets of American families--especially those of modest means--and on the federal budget.
