Spiral bound
This report, which analyzes proposals to credit early, voluntary actions to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, is the first in a series to be published by the Pew Center. It addresses the issues that policy makers will face in designing a domestic early action program, analyzes current proposals, and suggests a set of principles to guide an effective program. It suggests that, regardless of any eventual international framework, the U. S. can take steps to credit reductions in gases now, and therefore encourage and reward companies that act to minimize their emissions. The Pew Center concludes: the cost of delay is significant, U. S. leadership is imperative and leadership must start with Congress
