Overview
The Georgetown Climate Center serves as a resource to state, federal, and local policymakers who are working to develop policies to reduce greenhouse gas pollution and become more resilient to the effects of climate change, providing legal, policy, and process support to inform policy development. Georgetown is a leading institution in working with departments of transportation — in states and federally — to support the strong implementation of federal climate investment legislation. Georgetown has supported engagement with a subset of states, led by both Republicans and Democrats, interested in learning more about federal resources to support decarbonization.

The center supports state efforts to accelerate the deployment of clean electric power generation; advances policies and practices, at the federal and state levels, to ensure that transportation dollars are achieving low-carbon outcomes; and builds markets for lower-carbon cement and concrete used for transportation.
