Arizona governor Janet Napolitano said western states โ€œare particularly hard-hit by the effects of climate change,โ€ with recent droughts and worse-than-usual fireย seasons.

โ€œIn the absence of meaningful federal action, it is up to the states to take action to address climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in this country,โ€ said Napolitano, aย Democrat.

Her Republican colleague, California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, said a cap-and-trade program, which lets companies that can’t meet their emission reduction targets buy credits from those that reduce carbon dioxide, would provide โ€œa powerful framework for developing a national cap-and-trade program. โ€ฆ This agreement shows the power of states to lead our nation addressing climateย change.โ€

The agreement โ€” called the Western Regional Climate Action Initiative โ€” builds on earlier efforts by severalย states.
