2019 Annual Report | Strength in Numbers

American Leadership on Climate
Alliance states and territories are filling the federal leadership void through thoughtful, coordinated state action.

In the roughly two years since the Alliance was launched, the coalition has grown to twenty-five governors — both Democrats and Republicans — representing 55% of the U.S. population and 60% of U.S. GDP. 

 

Through thoughtful, coordinated state action, these governors are filling the federal leadership void, aiming to reduce their collective greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by at least 26 to 28% below 2005 levels by 2025, with many adopting substantially more ambitious emission reduction targets. Generating 40% of U.S. GHG emissions, this coalition is equivalent to the world’s sixth largest emitter. 

 

Today the Alliance has become an entity of global importance, capable of making a genuine impact on global emissions through its leadership and action.
