Western Climate Initiative
The Western Climate Initiative, or WCI, was started in February 2007 by the governors of five western U.S. states (AZ, CA, NM, OR, and WA) with the goal of developing a multi-sector, market-based program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
==History==
The Western Climate Initiative, or WCI, was started in February 2007 by the governors of five western states (AZ, CA, NM, OR, and WA) to evaluate and implement ways to reduce their states's emissions of greenhouse gases and achieve related co-benefits.〔http://www.westernclimateinitiative.org/document-archives/general/WCI-Governors-Agreement〕 These states and future participants in the initiative (collectively known as WCI "partners") also committed to set an overall regional goal to reduce emissions (set in August 2007 as 15 percent below 2005 emission levels by 2020),〔http://www.westernclimateinitiative.org/document-archives/general/Emission-Reduction-Goal-Aug-2007〕 participate in a cross-border greenhouse gas registry to consistently measure and track emissions, and adopt clean tailpipe standards for passenger vehicles. By July 2008, the initiative had expanded to include two more U.S. states (MT and UT) and four Canadian provinces (BC, MB, ON, and QC). Together, these WCI partners comprised 20 percent of U.S. GDP and 76 percent of Canadian GDP.〔http://www.westernclimateinitiative.org/document-archives/general/WCI-Brochure-(May-2010)〕
