In a few months, a new president will take office and face challenges we haven’t seen since Franklin Roosevelt became president. In particular, this president will be faced with a financial crisis, an environmental crisis, an energy crisis, a fresh water crisis, an educational crisis, and a national security crisis, not to mention a host of other problems. Fortunately, the University of Colorado and several partner organizations are engaging the nation’s science, policy, business and civic leaders to produce a Presidential Climate Action Plan (PCAP) to offer the new president practical plans and ideas for addressing global warming, arguably the most pressing of these crises, in ways that will also address these interconnected challenges.

The advisors to PCAP represent the best and brightest of thought leaders, green business proponents, scientists, policy-makers, educators, and changemakers.

This is an example of the kind of project and partnership that can create the system changes we need.
