A Climate Action Plan for Maine 2004

December 1, 2004

The Maine Department of Environmental Protection wrote the Climate Action Plan to meet the requirements of a state law passed in 2003 (PL 237).

The plan concludes with fifty-four recommended actions required to ensure legislative targets are met.
