Overview
The Center for American Progress is a multi-issue, nonpartisan policy institute whose core mission is to generate new policy ideas and translate them into progressive change. It partners with others across the ideological spectrum to forge consensus policies and improved ways of governing. At a time when long-standing democratic norms are facing unprecedented strain, the center is focused on revitalizing public institutions and improving policymaking procedures. This project will evaluate and propose changes to how the budget process operates, since that has become one of the most visible breakdowns of the legislative process in Congress.

Grants to this Grantee
for building U.S. capacity to shape the strategy and narrative on climate cooperation and competition with China
To support Center for American Progress's work to strengthen U.S. capacity on U.S. China climate partnership. The grant will build bipartisan consensus on a path for America's international climate policy. It strives to reframe the U.S. thinking about the role of U.S.-China relations in the climate policy and target context, focusing on tools that increase the cost of emissions and boost clean alternatives from China. Longer term, Center for American Progress will form a network to inform and convince the US policy makers that the U.S. can shift the emissions trajectory of the world's two largest emitters – U.S. and China - by adopting an accountable framework in international trade, development and diplomacy.
