Projects
Developed by a broad group of leaders from around the nation, the PCAP is a comprehensive and detailed plan to help the next President of the United States take bold action on global warming within the first 100 days of the new administration.
CNT is the lead researcher for the climate change mitigation elements of Chicago’s Climate Action Plan to reduce dramatically the city’s contribution to Global Warming. We have advised the city by developing an emissions inventory and forecast for Chicago and the metro region, as well as researching, modeling and evaluating 33 different mitigation strategies. The Plan will be released this fall.
In conjunction with the William J. Clinton Foundation, CNT has designed an online tool for measuring greenhouse gas emissions in the world’s 40 largest cities, thus providing critical data for use of urban resources.
CNT, with the Center for Clean Air Policy, has documented the potential of high speed rail networks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as an alternative to short-haul airplane trips.
