Governor's Task Force on Global Warming
Policy Templates

This page contains Policy Templates developed by each Work Group. Each template represents a policy option which may reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Work Groups, using public comment and feedback from the Task Force, have revised their Policy Templates. This process is expected to be ongoing. Templates are organized by Work Group, however this does not signify an endorsement of any Template by that Work Group. Work Groups have recommended many Templates for adoption by the Task Force. Other Templates are contentious and are being forwarded to the Task Force for further discussion.

The most current Templates are listed below and previous drafts of the Templates are available in a consolidated file located at the bottom of each Work Group section.

Background on the creation of the Policy Templates has been summarized [PDF 19KB].

To improve website navigation and simplify page organization public comment submitted on Draft Policy Templates has been relocated to this Public Comment Page.

The status of the Policy Templates is captured in this Summary Matrix [PDF 88KB].

PLEASE NOTE: This is a static document which captures the status of the policy templates at a given point in time. It is likely to be revised heavily. While it will be updated regularly, please reference this page for the most recent information.

The public and organizations are invited to submit comments on new Ad-hoc Policy Templates or revised Policy Templates using the email address below. Please indicate which Work Group your comment is related to in the subject line.
