An all-in, all-of-society approach to
climate-change mitigation combines
the unique power and strengths
of each part of society and builds
on the foundation of expanded
bottom-up leadership. This approach
gives us the best chance for rapid,
durable, transformative change while
promoting a clean and prosperous
economy. In this all-of-society
approach, every part of society has a
critical role to play:
• Federal: Set national standards
that build on bottomup momentum; invest in
infrastructure, financing and
incentives, and research and
development.
• State: Push ambition and set the
pace of standards, invest in state
action, and test new ideas.
• Local: Accelerate ambition and
test new ideas with local action,
codes, and zoning.
• Business: Shift markets and
develop and deploy new
technologies.
• Civil Society: Inspire, educate,
and mobilize the public; create
demand for new technologies and
approaches; build public support
for bold action; hold others
accountable.
