Elected officials and government - climate change policy
We urgently need policies that significantly increase the use of energy from renewable sources such as wind and solar power, encourage the implementation of energy efficient technologies and processes, and limit carbon dioxide pollution. The latest science indicates that steep reductions in greenhouse gases, on the order of 60-80 percent by 2050, will be needed to avert a 2 degrees Celsius warming.
Government leaders can join WWF in our efforts to build support for a new global climate agreement - the successor to the Kyoto Protocol - that sets deeper cuts for carbon dioxide emissions and major emission sources, as well as work toward domestic policies that promote caps on carbon dioxide emissions.
