In 2001 the New England Governors and Eastern Canadian Premiers (NEG/ECP) acknowledged the threat, and committed to work together to reduce global warming pollution. In 2005, the NEG/ECP announced the Climate Change Action Plan, which commits the region to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2010, 10% below 1990 levels by 2020 and by 75-85% in the long term.
