The bill would establish the bipartisan National Climate Solutions Commission, which will make recommendations on how to best reduce greenhouse gas emissions based on the findings of the scientific community. The commission will 1) undertake a comprehensive review of economically viable public and private actions or policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; 2) make recommendations to the President, Congress and the States; and 3) set goals for emissions reductions using estimated rates of reduction that reflect the latest scientific findings of what is needed to avoid serious health and environmental consequences.
This bill addresses Green New Deal goal 2(M)p.10 to identify other emissions and remove them and 4(B)p.11 to ensure the federal government considers the impact of emissions in policy change.
This bill addresses Green Real Deal goal 2(A)p.4 to reduce emissions.
