Strategies for government, business, agriculture, and community leaders - and all Pennsylvanians.
Pennsylvania established its first statewide policy on climate change in the Pennsylvania Climate Change Act of 2008 (Act 70). The Act requires the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to compile an annual greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory, develop a voluntary GHG registry, and develop a climate action plan (CAP) and impacts assessment and update them every three years. Act 70 also establishes the Climate Change Advisory Committee (CCAC) to advise DEP during CAP and Impacts Assessment development. Working with the committee, DEP has issued several climate action plans and impacts assessments in the intervening years.
