Gov. Tom Wolf on April 29 released a new climate action plan that proposes more than 100 practices to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and also announced Pennsylvania's membership in the U.S. Climate Alliance, a coalition of 23 states and Puerto Rico that are committed to mitigating global warming.
The Pennsylvania Climate Action Plan 2018 is the new state climate plan developed by DEP and state agency partners with recommendations for government leaders, businesses and citizens to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to a changing climate, according to a statement from the Wolf administration.
Development of a climate policy plan is required by state law, and is the third iteration of the plan. Its release follows on the heels of a January executive order in which Wolf set the goals of reducing greenhouse emissions by 26 percent by 2025 and 80 percent by 2050.
