"As President Biden convenes world leaders and sets an ambitious new U.S. target to address the global challenge of climate change, we've created a policy platform to advance progress in the manufacturing sector and U.S. economy," said ACC President and CEO Chris Jahn. "As a nation, we need to boost clean manufacturing innovation and supersize the use of energy-saving materials and technologies. The third piece is a clear, consistent, and effective way to reduce emissions economy-wide. ACC has long supported market-based, economy-wide carbon price signals as part of our climate policy principles. The proposals we're putting forward today are concrete steps that could help the Biden Administration advance its goals announced today," he added.
