At Climate Week NYC 2013, we released a briefing on US greenhouse gas emissions—along with a series of infographics (below) illustrating its key facts. The briefing follows on from last year’s summit, where we made the case that a rapid transition to a clean economy was the only path to long-term prosperity for the United States. We supported our case with five reasons for an American Clean Revolution, including:
- growing the economy
- boosting international competitiveness
- increasing security
- improving critical infrastructure
- avoiding the costs associated with more extreme weather.
