THE WESTERN CLIMATE INITIATIVE (WCI) Through WCI, the Partners set an overall regional goal in August 2007 for reducing greenhouse gas emissions (see the GHG Reduction Goal Statement). By August 2008 the Partners will also complete the design of a market-based mechanism to help achieve that reduction goal. The partners developed a Workplan to guide their work and are seeking public input throughout the process. NEW! WCI's initial draft design recommendations from the Allocations, Offsets and Reporting Subcommittees are available for public review and comment. These draft recommendations are listed on the WCI Documents section of the website [click here] along with the Electricity and Scope drafts released earlier. Two Stakeholder calls are being held April 8 and 9 to review these recommendations and get public input. For details on these calls go to the Public Involvement section of the website or click here.
