ENDORSEMENTS
“In an era of spiraling pessimism about the role of government, Karapin and Vogel offer a laser-guided view of where an active, focused US federal government can yield profound green change. —David G. Victor, author of Fixing the Climate and Making Climate Policy Work
Roger Karapin and David Vogel offer a comprehensive review of American climate policy that cuts across multiple sectors and various greenhouse gases. They consider variation in policy adoption, implementation, and durability, emerging with a valuable analysis of past decades that offers numerous insights to guide future policy development.
—Barry Rabe, author of Can We Price Carbon?
A compelling, evidence-rich account that fundamentally reframes U.S. climate policy history, revealing overlooked federal successes and valuable lessons for navigating an era of political polarization. Essential reading for policy makers and scholars alike.
