sub-national

I also examine the role that could be played by sub-national policies in the absence of a meaningful Federal policy, with the conclusion that -- like it or not -- we may find that Sacramento comes to take the place of Washington as the center of national climate policy.

Despite this fundamental reality, there can still be a valuable role for sub-national climate policies.

My focus is on how these sub-national policies will interact with a Federal climate policy.

I begin by describing the national climate policy context, and then turn to sub-national policies, such as California's AB 32 and the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) in the northeast.

Thus, in the presence of Federal climate policy, interactions with sub-national policies can be problematic, benign, or positive, depending upon the relative scope and stringency of the sub-national and national policies, as well as the particular policy instruments employed at both levels.
