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

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.
