The Chamber strongly supports continued environmental improvements, including sensible approaches to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
We believe that economic growth and environmental progress are not mutually exclusive goals.
In fact, the United States is the only major country that has actually and substantially reduced its C02 emissions while continuing to grow our economy.
To make further progress, we should be guided by what has already worked: gains in efficiency, new technologies, and the increased use of natural gas and renewable fuels.
The Environmental Affairs and Sustainability team promotes an enabling environment to ensure that the business community has the flexibility and policy tools it needs to succeed

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce submits these comments in support of the Fish and Wildlife Service’s (FWS) proposed revisions to regulations extending to threatened species most of the prohibitions for activities involving endangered species.1 The Chamber recognizes the need to protect species threatened with extinction, but urges the FWS to avoid unnecessary impediments to land and natural resources development. FWS can accomplish this by using sound science and tailored section 4(d) rules to balance endangered species protection with property rights and compliance costs when listing species and designating critical habitat.
Companies are increasingly aware of the need to compete based on the efficiency of their resource use.
This letter was sent to the House of Representatives on S. 3021, “America’s Infrastructure Water Act of 2018.”

US Chamber Comments-A Working Approach for Identifying Potential Candidate Chemicals for Prioritization
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce submits these comments to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) in response to its publication of the document, “A Working Approach for Identifying Potential Candidate Chemicals for Prioritization” (White Paper).1 The Chamber generally supports EPA’s efforts to prescribe approaches for identifying existing chemicals as potential candidates for prioritization, but urges EPA to reexamine a number of deficiencies included in the White Paper...
