CCS Library

CCS team members have been involved in a wide range of policy and technical issues related to global warming, energy, economic and environmental policy in the U.S. and abroad. Through this work they have presented speeches, seminars, papers and other communications as well as contributing to the research, higher education and best practices conducted in this field. In addition, many key reference materials have been identified through CCS projects and our work with over 1,200 stakeholders and technical work group members who provided invaluable contributions on state climate change issues. 

Links are provided to various publications and presentations by CCS team members, state reports, past CCS newsletters, summaries of CCS work and more.
