Climate Change Division
U.S. EPA’s Climate Change Division works to assess and address global climate change and the associated risks to human health and the environment. We play a key role in U.S. and international efforts to address climate change by:
- implementing successful voluntary programs to reduce non-carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions,
- analyzing rigorously CO2 and non-CO2 greenhouse gas emissions and economically efficient reduction, sequestration, and adaptation options,
- communicating climate analyses and strategies to policy-makers, experts and U.S. climate negotiators,
- building effective international capacity to analyze and reduce GHG emissions and associated air pollution,
- designing and implementing a national mandatory greenhouse gas reporting system, and
- educating the public on climate change.
