(1 November, 2002 — New York) The Partnership for Climate Action (PCA), consisting of eight leading corporations and the advocacy group Environmental Defense, today announced the launch of their web site, www.pca-online.org.  The PCA members include Alcan, BP, DuPont, Entergy, Ontario Power Generation, Pechiney, Shell International and Suncor Energy.

The PCA’s goals are to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, employ market mechanisms, report emissions performance and share its learning.  The web site furthers these goals by providing information about the PCA’s activities and each member’s greenhouse gas management programs and emissions information. Publications by the PCA are available for download as well as links to each PCA member’s web sites. The site will publish the PCA’s work on actual emissions trades, project-based emissions reduction credits, and emissions reporting issues, among other topics.
