Considering Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Climate Change in Environmental Reviews: Conduct of Research Report

The objective of National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Project 25-64, Considering Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Climate Change in Environmental Reviews: Resources for State DOTs, was to develop and pilot a guide for State departments of transportation (DOTs) with resources and approaches for addressing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and climate change effects in environmental reviews. The guide is designed to help DOTs understand current requirements, guidance, practices, and available tools and methods to support consideration of GHG emissions and climate change effects in environmental reviews. These may include reviews conducted consistent with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) as well as reviews conducted consistent with State environmental review requirements. The guide also discusses equity and environmental justice considerations and describes tools and methods for considering equity related to emissions and climate change effects.
