Long before the Paris Agreement, scientists, engineers, business men and women, public officials, academicians and non‐governmental organizations (NGOs) throughout the United States and the world were hard at work in solving the myriad of problems associated with anthropogenic climate change.

Now, with the legislative force of the Montreal Protocol in support of the Agreement’s reduction goals, it is time to bring these various communities of practice together to (1) leverage our many successes to date to inspire future innovations through ‘lessons learned’, (2) ensure that new atmospheric environmental regulations are timely communicated and economically implemented and (3) identify business opportunities for related sustainable development.

Vision:

That the United States remains a world industrial leader in meeting or exceeding the anthropogenic-based goals of the 2015 Paris Agreement and adopted by the Montreal Protocol.

Objectives:

To provide expert assistance in (1) identifying, (2) promoting and (3) adopting best‐in‐practice methods, processes and products, including standards development (e.g., measuring progress) to stabilize and ultimately reduce global climate change for facilities, infrastructure and manufacturing alike.
