Abstract

In June 2013 US President Barack Obama’s government launched a fresh bid to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the near future, especially in the transport and electricity sectors, with its so-called “Climate Action Plan.” Against this background, the article offers an overview of climate policy initiatives in the USA over the past decade and discusses the latest proposal in terms of its content, implications and its prospects of success.
