Statewide greenhouse gas target

Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-026678

A statewide greenhouse gas (GHG) target is a non-regulatory commitment to reduce statewide GHG emissions to a specified level by a certain timeframe (e.g., 1990 levels by 2020). Such targets can be included in legislation, but are more typically established by the governor in an executive order or a state advisory board in a climate change action plan.
