The Climate Leadership Council is a bipartisan non-profit organization that advocates for a carbon fee and dividends policy[1][2][3] that would tax carbon emissions and refund all the money to Americans in payments of approximately $2,000 a year for a family of four.[1][4] The plan would reduce emissions by 50 percent by 2035, according to an economic model by Resources for the Future.[5][6]
Launched in 2017 by Ted Halstead and former Republican Secretaries of State James Baker and George Shultz,[7] the council has organized a coalition of companies, environmental organizations, economists and others in support of its climate proposal.[8]
