On March 13, APPA's Legislative and Resolutions Committee approved a new climate policy, which advocates an economy-wide system that applies to all industry sectors. The ten-point plan does not call for any deadlines or specific emissions cuts, but supports Congress in its effort to credit industries that cut their GHG emissions before any bill becomes law. APPA also encourages lawmakers to examine how consumers will be affected by the implementation of a GHG emission reduction plan. The plan will be reviewed by APPA's membership in June at its national conference.
