This is a crucial time in the development of U.S. climate policy, a period when state and federal legislators are crafting regulatory policies and proposals that have the potential to affect all aspects of the U.S. economy. Policymakers, companies, industries, and the public need a full understanding of the merits and impact on sectors and companies of mandatory federal policy options for greenhouse gas emissions controls.
One of the goals of RFF's Climate and Technology Policy Program is to provide stakeholders and policymakers with such an understanding of policy options, from which effective mandatory federal policy might be crafted. In pursuit of this goal, RFF scholars have authored a series of backgrounders related to the design of federal climate policy.
