New England Governors: Climate Change Action Plan

New England Governors: Climate Change Action Plan (NEG-ECP)

The New England Governors' (NEG) Conference is a forum for the Governors of Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine to work together to respond to regional issues. These states are also party to the Conference of New England Governors and Eastern Canadian Premiers (NEG-ECP) to address regional, cross-boundary issues. In 2001, the NEG-ECP developed the Climate Change Action Plan, a comprehensive and coordinated regional plan for reducing greenhouse gases that includes a goal of achieving 1990 emission levels by 2010 and 10% below 1990 levels by 2020. The states and provinces of the NEG-ECP are developing a variety of programs and policies, including RGGI, to meet their commitments.
