During June 2008, the RAND Corporation brought together representatives of government, industry, advocacy groups, and the research community to discuss policies for mitigating climate change. This series of discussions was made possible by a grant from the McCormick Foundation, and included discussions on the role of federal and state government in such matters, along with public engagement, potential legislative and regulatory solutions, and technological innovation. The 54-page document released in March 2009 is not meant to be an exhaustive transcript of these discussions, but rather is meant to serve as a general overview of the main topics discussed. All told, the report contains four chapters and an appendix which lists all of the participants. For anyone with an interest in such policy matters, it's a very worthy read.
