U.S. governors who have helped lead the fight against climate change in the absence of federal leadership are meeting at Yale to discuss the possibility of uniting regional initiatives including developing carbon markets.
At least five governors including Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger from California and Democrats Rod Blagojevich from Illinois and Jon Corzine from New Jersey will meet at Yale University on Friday, to be joined by Quebec Premier Jean Charest, Manitoba Premier Gary Doer and Nobel Laureate Rajendra Pachauri.
Dan Esty, the director of Yale’s Centre for Environmental Law and Policy, said the governors will begin to "hone in on … blending a set of state efforts, some of which are already up and running, with an emerging federal climate system."
