>much of the innovative political action regarding climate change 
>issues is taking place at regional and local levels. One of the most 
>ambitious regional efforts to address climate change issues in North 
>America has been developed by the New England Governors and Eastern 
>Canadian Premiers (NEG-ECP). The 2001 NEG-ECP Climate Change Action 
>Plan sets specific emission reduction targets, and outlines major 
>goals and specific recommendations for policy action. This 
>presentation will outline the status of NEG-ECP regional efforts to 
>address climate change, discuss important drivers of these efforts, 
>and draw lessons about the accomplishments and limitations of 
>regional action and leadership initiatives on climate change.
