(5) To preserve the ability to stabilize atmos-
pheric greenhouse gas concentrations at levels likely 
to protect against a temperature rise above 2° C 
(3.6° F) and maintain the likelihood of avoiding cat-
astrophic global warming will require reductions of 
greenhouse gas emissions of 50 percent to 85 per-
cent globally. 
(6) Achieving such reductions will require a 
multitude of actions across the global economy that 
may each address a relatively minute quantity of 
emissions, but will be cumulatively significant. 
(7) With only 5 percent of the world population, 
the United States emits approximately 20 percent of 
the world’s total greenhouse gas emissions, and must 
be a leader in addressing global warming. 
(8) The United States Government is the larg-
est energy consumer in the United States and is re-
sponsible for roughly 100,000,000 metric tons of 
CO2-equivalent emissions annually.

warming and the exacerbation of the risks associated 
with global warming. In addition, Federal action 
would accelerate the pace of development and adop-
tion of technologies that will be critical to addressing 
global warming in the United States and worldwide. 
(10) A failure by any Federal agency to comply 
with the provisions of this title requiring reductions 
in its greenhouse gas emissions would exacerbate the 
pace, extent, and risks of global warming, causing 
harms beyond what would otherwise occur. The in-
cremental emissions from a Federal agency’s failure 
to comply with this title create a harm, which is the 
incremental exacerbation of the adverse effects and 
risks of global warming. Although the emissions in-
crements involved could be relatively small, such a 
failure allowing incrementally greater emissions 
would injure all United States citizens. 
(11) Improved management of Government op-
erations, including acquisitions and procurement and 
operation of Government facilities, can maximize the 
use of existing energy efficiency and renewable en-
ergy technologies to reduce global warming pollution, 
while saving taxpayers’ money, reducing our depend-

ministrator and make publicly available on the agen-
cy’s website a revised plan under subsection (d) not

2010, the Administrator shall develop and sub-
mit to the Congress by 2011 a proposal to allow 
agencies to meet the annual reduction targets 
applicable to such agencies under this section in 
part through emissions offsets, beginning in fis-
cal year 2015.

under subparagraph (A) shall ensure that emis-
sions offsets are—

financial purposes (such that the generator 
of the offset is not receiving credit or com-
pensation for the offset in another regu-
latory or market context). 
(C) RULEMAKING.—If by 2012 the Con-
gress has not enacted a statute for the express 
purpose of codifying the proposal developed 
under subparagraph (A) or an alternative to 
such proposal, the Administrator shall imple-
ment the proposal through rulemaking. 
(4) EXEMPTIONS.—The President may exempt 
an agency from complying with the emissions target 
established for that year under subsection (c) if the 
President determines it to be in the paramount in-
terest of the United States to do so. The agency 
shall, to the greatest extent practicable, continue to 
implement the provisions in the agency’s plan. Any 
exemption shall be for a period not in excess of one 
year, but additional exemptions may be granted for 
periods of not more than one year upon the Presi-
