U.S. Climate Action Partnership

FPL Group has joined U.S. Climate Action Partnership, a diverse group of U.S.-based businesses and leading environmental organizations calling upon on the federal government to quickly enact strong national legislation to achieve significant reductions of greenhouse gas emissions. USCAP members have said any delay in action to control emissions increases the risk of unavoidable consequences that could necessitate even steeper reductions in the future.

In addition to FPL Group, the founding members of this unprecedented alliance include market leaders Alcoa, BP America, Caterpillar, Duke Energy, DuPont, General Electric, Lehman Brothers, PG&E and PNM Resources along with four leading non-governmental organizations – Environmental Defense, Natural Resources Defense Council, Pew Center on Global Climate Change, and World Resources Institute.

In January 2007, USCAP issued a landmark set of principles and recommendations to underscore the urgent need for a policy framework on climate change. The solutions-based report, titled A Call for Action, lays out a blueprint for a mandatory economy-wide, market-driven approach to climate protection.
