From the moment the 44th President of the United States takes office on January 20, 2009, the American people - and the world community will watch closely for indications of how our new leader addresses global climate change.

The Presidential Climate Action Project (PCAP) has developed a non-partisan plan for presidential leadership within 100 days of inauguration. PCAP presents a specific and comprehensive blueprint for bold leadership, rooted in climate science and designed to ignite innovation at every level of the American economy.

PCAP incorporates many of the best ideas put forward by the presidential candidates, universities, non-governmenta l organizations and others, as well as new ideas based on original analyses commissioned by the project. PCAP's comprehensive plan encourages a more creative level of public discussion about how the nation will address global warming. A final plan will be issued in September 2008, reflecting new policy ideas, science, research and federal action that emerge during the campaign season.
