In general, the activities of the Greenhouse Gas Coalition (GHG Coalition) can be divided into four basic areas:

• A Regulatory Analysis Service - providing a centralized source of information on climate change issues occurring on state, regional, and federal levels, through the publication Climate Change Briefing and the U.S. Climate Policy website.
  
  
• Technical Analysis Assistance - an “on-call” limited response function for members focused on more in-depth understanding of a regulatory proposal or on the implication for their specific business.
  
  
• A Forum for Strategic Discussions - conference calls and meetings for members to discuss the implications of emerging climate change policies.  Such conference calls and meetings occur on a regular basis and often include key regulators, policymakers, and representatives from the environmental community.
  
  
• Co-ordination of Strategic Action - allowing for the development of strategic advocacy efforts.   Depending on the situation and perspective of individual members, the GHG Coalition may develop consensus position statements and submitt comments to stakeholder processes as well as legislative and regulatory proceedings.   For example, several GHG Coalition members developed comprehensive policy recommendations for the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative and provided comments on Regional Greenhouse Gas Registry proposals.
