The Alaska Greenhouse Gas Inventory and Reference Case Projections, 1990-2020, prepared by the Center for Climate Strategies for the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), takes a first comprehensive look at all potential anthropogenic sources of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions in the state. The report was prepared in February 2007.

In 2006, House Concurrent Resolution 30 created the Alaska Climate Impact Assessment Commission (Climate Commission). The Climate Commission consists of 11 members.
