National Research Council Climate Change Reports Available
The National Research Council issued the first three of five reports examining how the United States should act to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and develop a national strategy to adapt to the impacts of climate change.  EPRI’s Francisco de la Chesnaye was the co-author of Chapter 2: Goals for Limiting Future Climate Change, in the NRC report, Limiting the Magnitude of Future Climate Change.  EPRI’s Richard Richels is a member of the panel preparing the next report in the series, Informing Effective Decisions and Actions Related to Climate Change, to be released later this year.  The reports are part of a congressionally requested suite of studies known as America's Climate Choices.  Report briefs on the three published reports are available from the America’s Climate Choices website.  For more information, contact Francisco de la Chesnaye, (202) 293-6347, fdelachesnaye@epri.com, or Richard Richels, (202) 293-2160, rrichels@epri.com.
