About PCAP
From the moment the 44th President of the United States takes office, the American people and the world community will watch closely for indications of how our new leader addresses Global Climate Change. The Presidential Climate Action Project has developed a bold, comprehensive and non-partisan plan for presidential leadership rooted in climate science and designed to ignite innovation at every level of the American economy.
PCAP is an initiative of the Univeristy of Colorado School of Public Affairs. Its objective is to provide presidential candidates and the President-elect with background information and educational materials on global warming, including a broad menu of diverse policy and program options for national leadership. The project does not advocate on behalf of specific climate policies, programs, spending or other actions by the President or the Federal government.
