Climate change is a global problem that requires a global solution. In recent years, businesses have emerged as some of the strongest advocates for a national climate and energy legislation that mandates the reductions of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Climate change is not strictly an environmental issue. Instead, it is multi-faceted, encompassing national security, international diplomacy, and most crucially for business, economic policy. On a fundamental level, businesses stress the need for a coherent national and North American strategy that will serve to strength the economy. The absence of a complete strategy creates uncertainty, which is a hindrance to sustained economic growth and an obstacle to the development of new markets and business opportunities.
