Climate action project - Obama Plans

This report highlights priority environmental recommendations for the Obama administration transition
team endorsed by a coalition of national environmental and conservation organizations listed below1.
Many organizations assisted in the creation of this report and we recognize their contributions. The report
describes how the administration can resume Federal leadership on critical energy and environmental
challenges affecting our economy, health and well-being in order to put our nation on a sustainable path
now and for future generations.
Over the past several months, a coalition of national environmental and conservation organizations has
completed an internal process to develop a set of suggestions for the new administration. Sub-committees
including representatives from throughout the environmental community have considered the full breadth
of environmental issues we expect will be considered by the administration and developed the detailed
recommendations included in this report. It contains key consensus recommendations and is meant to
compliment, and not replace, other environmental transition reports developed by individual organizations
with recommendations of their own.
Each set of agency recommendations highlights three major issues for the agency, followed by key
administrative, legislative and budgetary policy actions and critical actions to take in the first 100 days.
We urge the agency transition teams to use this document in the first crucial days of the Obama
administration and look forward to working with the administration to develop policies that will both
revitalize our economy and protect the planet.
