About Us
The Climate Leadership Council represents the
broadest climate coalition in U.S. history. It
promotes a bipartisan carbon dividends framework
as the most politically-viable, equitable and
pro-business climate solution. The Council and
its Founding Members believe that America needs a
consensus climate solution that bridges partisan
divides, strengthens our economy and protects our
shared environment. That is why our diverse
coalition of 22 leading companies, four major
environmental organizations and opinion leaders
from across the political spectrum have come
together to develop and promote a bipartisan
climate solution based on carbon dividends.

THE CONSENSUS CLIMATE SOLUTION
The Founding Members of the Climate Leadership
Council believe that America needs a consensus
climate solution that bridges partisan divides,
strengthens our economy and protects our shared
environment. The Councils carbon dividends
solution embodies the conservative principles of
free markets and limited government. It also
offers an equitable, popular and
politically-viable way forward, paving the way
for a much-needed bipartisan climate breakthrough.
Our carbon dividends program is based on four
interdependent pillars 1. A gradually rising and
revenue-neutral carbon tax 2. Carbon dividend
payments to all Americans, funded by 100 of the
revenue 3. The rollback of carbon regulations
that are no longer necessary and 4. Border
carbon adjustments to level the playing field and
promote American competitiveness.
