Groundbreaking Progress In Connecticut

The debate over the science on global warming has shifted to a debate about how best to address the problem. Since 2002 Clean Water Action and Connecticut Climate Coalition supporters have been working to demonstrate public support to make a state global warming plan a reality.

In 2004 we worked to pass global warming goals legislation in the spring of 2004. The legislation adopted the New England Governors’ pollution reduction goals and mandated that the state release a climate plan by February 2005.

The Connecticut Climate Change Action Plan includes policies to strengthen consumer energy efficiency programs, reduce “black carbon” diesel soot, protect open space, double the recycling rate and invest in clean energy.
