The Chicago Climate Exchange

The Chicago Climate Exchange® (CCX®) is a greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction and trading pilot program for emission sources and offset projects in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Projects also include Brazil. CCX® is a self-regulatory, rules-based exchange designed and governed by CCX® Members. These members have made a voluntary, legally binding commitment to reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases by four percent below the average of their 1998-2001 baseline by 2006, the last year of the pilot program.

CCX Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide our members from the private and public sector with cost-effective methods for reducing their greenhouse gas emissions by building and operating a market-based emission reduction and trading program that is flexible, has low transaction costs, is environmentally rigorous and rewards environmental innovation.

Environmental Defense

Environmental Defense is a leading national nonprofit organization representing more than 400,000 members. Since 1967, we have linked science, economics and law to create innovative, equitable and cost-effective solutions to society's most urgent environmental problems.http://www.environmentaldefense.org/aboutus.cfm?subnav=whoweare

Environmental Defense Mission Statement:

Environmental Defense is dedicated to protecting the environmental rights of all people, including future generations. Among these rights are clean air, clean water, healthy food and flourishing ecosystems. We are guided by scientific evaluation of environmental problems, and the solutions we advocate will be based on science, even when it leads in unfamiliar directions. We work to create solutions that win lasting economic and social support because they are nonpartisan, cost-effective and fair. We recognize that low-income communities and communities of color have been disproportionately exposed to many environmental threats, and we seek answers that are equitable and just for all. As an organization based in the United States, we pay special attention to U.S. environmental problems and to America's role in causing and solving global problems, and we aim to share our approaches internationally.
