Alabama Ranks Last Nationally In Implementing
Climate Change Programs - According to a recent Pew Center on
Global Climate Change ranking, Alabama ranks last with four other states in
the implementation of climate change initiatives and programs. Presently, only
four of 20 possible climate change initiatives have been taken by the state,
including a climate change policy model and plan that was completed more than
10 years ago at the University of Alabama. Other southeastern states,
including North Carolina and South Carolina have recently launched climate
change policy panels to address the environmental and economic impact of
climate change.
