*EPA Releases Report: "Climate Change in the United States: Benefits of Global Action"
This EPA report estimates the physical and monetary benefits to the U.S. of reducing global greenhouse gas emissions.
The report summarizes results from the Climate Change Impacts and Risk Analysis (CIRA) project, a peer-reviewed study
comparing impacts in a future with significant global action on climate change to a future in which current greenhouse gas
emissions continue to rise. The report shows that global action on climate change will significantly benefit Americans by
saving lives and avoiding costly damages across the U.S. economy.
*EPA National Water Program Releases 2015 Workplan
This Workplan lays out the actions that the EPA National Water Program plans to take in 2015 to implement the "EPA
