THE EIGHT CONSERVATIVE CLIMATE POLICY DIRECTIVES
One of the most destructive myths of modern times is the idea that somehow conservatism is incompatible with good climate policy. But nothing could be further from the truth.Conservatives have overseen some of the most enduring legacies of American environmental policy. Republican Presidents created the Environmental Protection Agency, signed the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Air Act Amendments, the Oil Pollution Act into law, adopted the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, developed the world’s first market-based emissions reductions programs, and protected America’s wetlands while supporting economic growth and development. America’s first true environmental President, Theodore Roosevelt, whose name is synonymous with conservation, established 150 national forests, 51 federal bird reserves, four national game preserves, five national parks and 18 national monuments on over 230 million acres of public land.Whether compelled by personal faith and deep reverence for creation, appreciation for the importance of individual responsibility that accompanies the freedoms we all enjoy, or a desire to leave future generations better off than those that came before, conservatives of all shapes and stripes care very much about planet Earth, and ensuring clean, healthy air and water for all of its inhabitants.
CRES Forum has developed the following eight conservative climate policy directives to engage with legislators, policymakers, the press, and the public on creating better, lasting and significant policies that will protect the planet and our future economic growth for generations to come.
