Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Strategies
The Department of Natural Resources, Technology Assessment Division has prepared this report to address the growing demand for cost effective solutions designed to mitigate ever increasing greenhouse gas emissions in an effort to combat climate change. Energy efficiency is the cheapest action to combat climate change. In general, an effective climate action plan can be summarized in a five-step process:

1. Develop a baseline inventory of GHG emissions
2. Establish a target to lower emissions
3. Develop a local climate action plan to implement actions that reduce GHG emissions
4. Implement the local action plan
5. Measure, verify and report performance

This report will be most useful for state and local municipal entities. For more information about how to reduce energy consumption and harmful greenhouse gas emissions in the residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation sectors click on the link above.
