The Climate Leadership Council is a bipartisan non-profit organization that advocates for market-based solutions to reduce global emissions. In 2022, it launched the Center for Climate & Trade which leverages "trade relationships and the market economy towards greater international cooperation and climate progress."
Launched in 2017 by Ted Halstead and former Republican Secretaries of State James Baker and George Shultz, the Council organized a coalition of companies, environmental organizations, economists and others in support of its original climate proposal, the Baker-Shultz Carbon Dividends plan.
In recent years, the Council has focused on "leveraging market forces to incentivize clean technology investments, innovation, and lower emissions."
