State Climate Policy Tracker Database by The New America's Foundation: State Climate Policy Tracker Reveals Progress by 33 States: A New Tool to Track State GHG Reduction Measures. The State Climate Policy Tracker is a database that allows state-by-state tracking of hundreds of carbon and energy saving measures. It was released recently by The New America Foundation's Climate Policy Program. With a page for each state, the database captures climate actions arising largely out of comprehensive climate mitigation action planning by The Center for Climate Strategies (CCS). It reports on the progress of each measure, its cost or cost-saving potential, and the estimated reduction in carbon emissions expected on an annual basis. More detailed versions of these policies and plans are available at the CCS website through each of the state climate plan reports: http://www.climatestrategies.us/
