Steering Committee

The Climate 21 Project’s recommendations were produced by a Steering Committee of experienced government climate experts. The contents have been informed by interviews tapping the additional expertise of more than 150 experts with high-level government experience on climate and energy, including nine cabinet appointees.

Each Climate 21 Project memo identifies its lead authors, including Steering Committee members and additional expert consultants. Other Steering Committee members do not necessarily endorse every individual recommendation. Steering Committee members participated as individuals lending their personal expertise.Their professional affiliations do not imply organizational endorsement of these recommendations.
