The Climate Leadership Council is a research and advocacy organization whose mission is to develop and promote a carbon dividends framework as a viable climate change policy solution, primarily in the United Sates. With partial support from the Mott Foundation in the past, the grantee has had considerable success influencing the discussion about climate change solutions in the media, among policymakers and with the general public. Renewed support will allow the grantee to pursue its aims by utilizing its stakeholder network, undertaking multidisciplinary policy research, educating policymakers and informing the public. This will include the launch of a new research center focused on climate and trade policy and the continuation of a public seminar series named in memory of the council’s founder.
