(2) The risks associated with a global mean 
surface temperature increase above 2° C (3.6° F) 
above preindustrial temperature are grave. Accord-
ing to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate 
Change, such temperature increases would increase 
the severity of ongoing alterations of terrestrial and 
marine environments, with potentially catastrophic 
results. Ongoing and projected effects include more 
prevalent droughts in dry regions, an increase in the 
spread of disease, a significant reduction in water 
storage in winter snowpack in mountainous regions 
with direct and important economic consequences, a 
precipitous rise in sea levels by the end of the cen-
tury, the potential devastation of coastal commu-
nities, severe and irreversible changes to natural eco-
systems such as the bleaching and destruction of 
much of the world’s coral, and the potential extinc-
tion of 30 percent of all living species. 
(3) That these climate change effects and risks 
of future effects are widely shared does not minimize 
the adverse affects individual persons have suffered, 
will suffer, and are at risk of suffering because of

gate the harm persons suffer from actions that in-
crease the likelihood, extent, and severity of such fu-
ture impacts. 
(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-

Subtitle 
A—Federal 
Government 
Inventory and Management of 
Greenhouse Gas Emissions 
SEC. 6101. INVENTORY OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT GREEN-
HOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. 
(a) IN GENERAL.—Each agency shall, in accordance 
with the guidance issued under subsection (b), annually 
inventory and report its greenhouse gas emissions for the 
preceding fiscal year. Each such inventory and report shall 
indicate as discrete categories— 
(1) any direct emission of greenhouse gas as a 
result of an activity of the agency; 
(2) the quantity of indirect emissions of green-
house gases attributable to the generation of elec-
tricity used by the agency and commercial air travel 
by agency personnel; and
308 
(3) the quantity of emissions of greenhouse 
gases associated with the work performed for the 
agency by Federal contractors, comprising direct 
emissions and indirect emissions associated with 
electricity used by, and commercial air travel by, 
such contractors. 
(b) GUIDANCE; ASSISTANCE.—Not later than 3 
months after the date of the enactment of this Act, the 
Administrator shall issue guidance for agencies for con-
ducting inventories under this section and reporting under 
section 6102. Such guidance shall establish inventory and 
reporting procedures that are at least as rigorous as the 
inventory procedures established under the Environmental 
Protection Agency’s Climate Leaders program and shall 
define the scope of the inventories of direct emissions de-
scribed in subsection (a)(1) to be complete and consistent 
with the national obligation for reporting inventories 
under the United Nations Framework Convention on Cli-
mate Change. The Administrator shall provide assistance 
to agencies in preparing their inventories. 
(c) INITIAL INVENTORY BY AGENCIES.— 
(1) SUBMISSION.—Not later than 1 year after 
the date of the enactment of this Act, each agency 
shall submit to the Administrator and make publicly 
available on the agency’s website an initial inventory
309 
of the agency’s greenhouse gas emissions for the 
preceding fiscal year. 
(2) CERTIFICATION.—Not later than 6 months 
after an agency submits an initial inventory under 
paragraph (1), the Administrator shall review the in-
ventory for compliance with the guidance issued 
under subsection (b) and— 
(A) certify that the inventory is technically 
valid; or 
(B) decline to certify the inventory and 
provide an explanation of the actions or revi-
sions that are necessary for the inventory to be 
certified under subparagraph (A). 
(3) REVISION.—If the Administrator declines to 
certify the inventory of an agency under paragraph 
(2)(B), the agency shall submit to the Administrator 
and make publicly available on the agency’s website 
a revised inventory not later than 6 months after the 
date on which the Administrator provides the agency 
with the explanation required by such paragraph. 
(d) NET
GREENHOUSE
GASES
FROM
FEDERAL 
LANDS.—Beginning not later than 2 years after the date 
of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the Interior and 
the Secretary of Agriculture shall include as a discrete cat-
egory in any inventory under this section the net biological
310 
sequestration or emission of greenhouse gases related to 
human activities and associated with land managed by the 
Bureau of Land Management or the Forest Service. In 
developing such estimates of the net biological sequestra-
tion or emission of greenhouse gases, the Secretary of the 
Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture shall take into 
consideration the results of any available related assess-
ments performed by the Secretary of the Interior. Such 
net biological sequestration or emissions of greenhouse 
gases shall not be considered for the purposes of setting 
or measuring progress toward targets under section 6102. 
For the purposes of this subsection, the net biological se-
questration or emission of greenhouse gases refers to the 
net sequestration or emissions associated with uptake and 
release of greenhouse gases from soil, vegetation, and dead 
organic matter. 
SEC. 6102. MANAGEMENT OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT 
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. 
(a) EMISSION REDUCTION TARGETS.—Not later than 
18 months after the date of the enactment of this Act, 
the Administrator shall promulgate annual reduction tar-
gets for the total quantity of greenhouse gas emissions de-
scribed in section 6101(a), expressed as carbon dioxide 
equivalents, of all agencies, taken collectively, for each of 
fiscal years 2010 through 2050.
311 
(b) GOALS.—The targets promulgated under sub-
section (a) shall be calculated so as— 
(1) to prevent the total quantity of greenhouse 
gas emissions of all agencies in fiscal year 2011 and 
each subsequent fiscal year from exceeding the total 
quantity of such emissions in fiscal year 2010; and 
(2) to reduce such greenhouse gas emissions as 
rapidly as possible, but at a minimum by a quantity 
equal to 2 percent of projected fiscal year 2010 
emissions each fiscal year, so as to achieve zero net 
annual greenhouse gas emissions from the agencies 
by fiscal year 2050. 
(c) PROPORTIONATE SHARE.—Each agency shall 
limit the quantity of its greenhouse gas emissions de-
scribed in section 6101(a) to its proportionate share so 
as to enable the agencies to achieve the targets promul-
gated under subsection (a). The Administrator shall pro-
mulgate annual reduction targets to be met by each agen-
cy to comply with this subsection, after consultation with 
the agencies and taking into account changes in agency 
size, structure, and mission over time. 
(d) AGENCY PLANS FOR MANAGING EMISSIONS.— 
(1) SUBMISSION.—Not later than 2 years after 
the date of the enactment of this Act, each agency 
shall develop, submit to the Administrator, and
