The Climate Recovery Partnership fosters:
- A reduction in carbon emissions of at least 80% by 2050;
- U.S. energy independence;
- A thriving, clean energy economy -- supporting smarter industries, construction, and transportation; and
- Natural environments and threatened communities protected from the consequences of global warming.
Looking Ahead
Our 2010 achievements positioned us well for our progress in 2011. Here are a few examples of where we are focusing our strengths:
- Launch nationwide campaign to retire and replace all existing coal plants by 2030.
- End mountaintop removal mining and block oil drilling in Alaska and other pristine wilderness.
- Advocate for adoption of high-performing building codes in 10 states.
- Establish 5-7 renewable energy zones in the Western United States.
- Promote strong Pavley 2 standards and an effective Zero Emissions Vehicle program to drive technology forward and influence national guidelines.
- Support initiatives that increase transportation choices and improve community planning.
- Reinforce protection for wildlife migration corridors.
- Uphold and strengthen the roadless rule for all national forests.
