PDF versionPDF version

The Congressional Research Service (CRS) issued a report that describes and compares 52 bills introduced in the 113th Congress that directly address climate change. The CRS also issued a report on federal climate change funding from fiscal year (FY) 2008 through the President’s request for FY2014. More than 75% of the $77 billion for climate change activities from FY 2008 to FY2013 was to fund technology development and deployment. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 accounted for more than one-third of appropriated funding for FY 2008-2013.  At least 18 federal agencies administer climate change related activities and programs.
