Midwest Greenhouse Gas Reduction Accord

The Midwest Greenhouse Gas Reduction Accord is an agreement among several U.S. Midwestern states to work together in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, primarily from sources like power plants and industry. The goal is to promote cleaner energy, improve air quality, and address climate change by setting regional targets and implementing policies that support renewable energy and efficiency. It encourages collaboration across state lines, balancing environmental responsibility with economic growth, and provides a framework for tracking progress and sharing best practices. This way, the Midwest aims to be proactive in reducing its carbon footprint while supporting sustainable development.
