The Carbon Fee and Dividend Act - Download PDF
At Citizens Climate Lobby, we believe that our national policy on climate change should be a match for the science. Toward that end, we offer the following legislation that will achieve the critical goals needed to avert catastrophic climate change.

If you would like to take our legislation to your member of Congress, please get in touch and we'll be happy to support your efforts. Write to us at ccl@citizensclimatelobby.org.

The report’s major concepts are sound: Climate change is real, it is man-made and it poses a major threat to society.... Read more
