Overview
The EPA issued a draft regulation to limit carbon pollution from existing power plants. This regulation presents the single best policy opportunity to reduce heat-trapping gases this decade. If designed well and implemented on schedule, the rule and accompanying state plans will reduce power-sector global warming emissions 25 percent by 2020. The Partnership Project hosts a coordinated coalition of national environmental groups and others to conduct strategic, coordinated communications and organizing activities to defend EPA’s authority to issue such rules, and to ensure that the power plant rule is effective and on schedule. Since approval of this grant and other EPA rule oriented grants reported in the docket, EPA released the draft regulation described above. This is an important step in the process of securing a strong final regulation that will cut electric sector GHG emissions by 30% by 2030.

Grants to this Grantee
for legal technical assistance
This grant is for legal technical assistance for the Green Leadership Trust, a fiscally sponsored project of the Partnership Project, to help increase understanding of the current landscape as grantees engage in DEIJ-related charitable activities. The Partnership Project’s Green Leadership Trust works to build a more effective environmental movement by supporting and growing the impact and leadership of Black, Indigenous, and people of color serving on U.S. environmental nonprofit boards. Given the impact of boards on the direction of their organizations’ hiring and retention practices, programming, and partnerships, such efforts are a key part of the work to ensure the environmental movement is inclusive and relevant. Green Leadership Trust is guided first and foremost by members’ responsibilities as fiduciaries of the organizations they represent. This grant is for legal technical assistance.
