State action can significantly reduce carbon emissions and create sustainable protections for rivers and lands in the face of climate change.
For more than three decades, WRA has used public policy to drive reductions in carbon emissions from the utility sector and to make clean energy investments. WRA works with state lawmakers and state agencies to develop and implement policies that regulate utilities to reduce carbon emissions across our region, and ultimately, to do our part to help limit global temperature rise to 2° Celsius. States can create bold environmental protections, even inspiring further federal action. For example, the federal Wildlife Corridor Conservation Act was modeled and enacted after nine states passed legislation promoting wildlife corridors and connectivity.
