New LEAP-Related Report: United States West Coast Governors Global Warming Initiative



The Governors of Washington, Oregon, and California have recently approved a series of recommendations for action to combat global warming. This effort is widely considered one of leading state initiatives on climate change in the United States. In this latest development, the Governors approved 36 recommendations in five areas that were jointly developed by the three states.



The recommendations are based on a range of analyses including a major scenario study developed by Tellus Institute for the Energy Foundation. The scenario study was conducted using a range of different models, with LEAP used as the main organizational accounting framework.
