Description

Abstract:

Over recent years there has been an increasing call for climate action in the United States of America. This has resulted in the publication of climate action plans varying from local to state to federal government. The number of plans has cluttered the online atmosphere making it difficult to perform any kind of comparative analysis on the implementation of these plans. My research will consist of putting together all the prevalent goals and information described in the climate action plans that are only published on the state level. Currently there are 22 state level climate action plans published; therefore, reading through those executive summaries will get me all the information needed to put together a solid database. The database will provide the space necessary to perform a general analysis of each state’s progress which will assist in deciding which two states have shown the most potential with their implementation. Those two states will be researched extensively as case studies in order to effectively figure out what is leading them to be successful, and to discover how to replicate that success for other states.
