Topic Overview
At this challenging time, given the actions of the federal government, the Initiative’s goal is to advance state-level climate policy nationwide. We do this by providing draft legislation, legal analysis, implementation support, and other legal tools to lawmakers, advocates, and other stakeholders.
Through EANY’s new partnership with the Sabin Center, the Model Climate Laws Initiative is producing additional model laws to address the changing climate and increasing its outreach to state lawmakers across the country. We are focused on drafting laws that are legally robust and able to withstand inevitable challenges, and that can be successfully enacted and effectively implemented. The Initiative partners with legal and policy experts, as well as outreach and advocacy networks, to facilitate the passage of laws that reduce harmful emissions, help prepare for ongoing climate change, and equitably benefit the clean energy economy.
All of our materials are freely and publicly available in a database on the Model Climate Laws Initiative website. Receive regular updates about the Model Climate Laws Initiative by subscribing to our newsletter.
