EDF Praises New Administration Guidance on Climate Pollution Impacts
New Directive under National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Will Aid Decision Making
Statement of Elgie Holstein, EDF Senior Director for Strategic Planning – August 2, 2016
“The Obama Administration has taken another practical step forward in addressing climate change. The new NEPA guidance will ensure disclosure of greenhouse gas emissions and consideration of climate change’s impacts in siting and designing projects. Including analysis of climate change in the NEPA process will result in better decision making on the part of the federal government. NEPA is the single best tool available for the federal government to explore the implications of a decision before it is made, and to find ways to offset the adverse environmental impacts.”
