The Georgetown Climate Center, based within Georgetown Law School, supports state regulators, power companies, and other key stakeholders in constructively engaging with each other and the EPA in shaping and eventually complying with EPA’s proposed Clean Power Plan to reduce global warming pollution from existing power plants. The Center hosts facilitated in-person meetings and phone and web-based communication sessions, as well as providing technical expertise, to help stakeholders explore multi-state and state-based compliance frameworks, identify and address common compliance questions, submit joint comments, and engage with media.

The Georgetown Climate Center (GCC), based within Georgetown Law School, would support states and power companies in constructively engaging with each other and the Environmental Protection Agency in shaping forthcoming federal greenhouse gas standards for existing power plants. GCC would help develop multi-state compliance frameworks, expand outreach to a larger group of states than those that have previously been engaged, and host in-person meetings before and after the draft rule is issued.
