Climate Change Could Cost States

by Glen Andersen and Meagan Dosch

The National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) and the Center for Integrative Environmental Research (CIER) at the University of Maryland have released the final four State Economic and Environmental Costs of Climate Change reports. Eight reports were released in July at NCSL legislative summit in New Orleans.

Each report summarize the climatic changes affecting each states, the potential fiscal impact, and the affect of any future climate changes. All 12 reports can be found here

States are taking the lead to implement policies that address climate change and environmental sustainability. The federal government is likely to enact climate legislation within the next few years. States that create energy policies now may be a step ahead when Congress passes its first greenhouse gas reduction law.
