Through an assessment of current federal, state, and local climate and energy policies, this report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Committee on Accelerating Decarbonization in the United States: Technology, Policy, and Societal Dimensions identifies gaps and barriers to implementation that would prevent the nation from attaining its climate, economic, and societal goals.
