EPA’s Quantified Climate Action Measures Directory presents information on the quantified greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction measures in state and local climate action plans published between January 2018 and August 2023. The directory is designed to help states, local governments, tribes, and territories develop new or updated climate action plans by identifying examples of quantified GHG reduction measures. This directory will help you understand how the example measures were quantified, and locate the state or local planning or analysis documents that formed the basis for the measure’s directory entry.

The directory presents two searchable tables– one for state plans and one for local plans – that display the following information for each GHG mitigation measure identified:

• A short description of the GHG mitigation measure;
• The economic sector(s) within which the measure reduces GHG emissions (Agriculture, Commercial and residential buildings, Electricity, Industry, Natural and working lands, Oil & natural gas systems, Transportation, and Waste and materials management);
• The measure type (e.g., clean and renewable energy, energy efficiency, electrification, etc.);
• The tool(s) used to quantify the mitigation measure;
• The state or local jurisdiction proposing the measure; and
• References to the state or local planning documents with additional information about the measure.

The state and local directories can be accessed at the following links.
