In February, Illinois Governor Blagojevich announced his intention to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and 60% below 1990 levels by 2050. The Climate Change Advisory Group completed its work in the fall and will send its recommendations to the Governor in early 2008.

In November, Michigan Governor Granholm created a Climate Action Council that will develop a comprehensive climate action plan by the end of 2008.

The Climate Registry kicked off in May, with more than 30 states, several tribes, four Canadian provinces and one Mexican state participating in the effort to develop a common greenhouse gas emissions reporting system. The voluntary registry will measure, track, verify and report greenhouse gas information for participating entities. Technical assistance will be available to participants. http://theclimateregistry.org/index.html
