\/><\/a>With the recent COP19 in Warsaw showing questionable progress towards a universal climate agreement in 2015 (<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.law.columbia.edu\/climatechange\/2013\/11\/25\/unfccc-cop19-in-warsaw-ends-with-last-minute-deals\/\">as reported previously by CCCL<\/a>), government procurement represents an uncontroversial way to achieve greenhouse gas reductions.\u00a0 The sheer size of government purchases in many countries\u2014which amount to at least 15% of global GDP<a title=\"\" href=\"#_edn1\">[i]<\/a>\u2014makes procurement a \u201clow hanging fruit\u201d for reducing carbon emissions.\u00a0 In the U.S. alone, the federal government is reported to be the world\u2019s largest purchaser.<a title=\"\" href=\"#_edn2\">[ii]<\/a>\u00a0 A <a href=\"https:\/\/web.law.columbia.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/microsites\/climate-change\/files\/Publications\/Collaborations-Visiting-Scholars\/us_product_procurement_ganley.pdf\">new white paper<\/a> released by the Center for Climate Change Law (CCCL) studies federal procurement laws in the U.S., focusing specifically on whether U.S. federal agencies must, or may, take carbon emissions into account when purchasing products.\u00a0\u00a0<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The U.S. federal government spends approximately $350 billion yearly on goods and services,<a title=\"\" href=\"#_edn3\">[iii]<\/a> which gives federal procurement policies the potential to wield this buying power to achieve secondary policies such as protecting the environment and promoting the market for sustainable consumer products.\u00a0 The new CCCL paper reviews the history of federal procurement since the Clinton Administration and particularly examines the degree to which agencies must purchase \u201cgreen\u201d products that minimize upstream environmental impacts, or otherwise have low embedded carbon.\u00a0 These policies are important because procurement preferences for sustainable goods can provide demand-side market incentives that may function as a catalyst to promote the development of green goods in the broader consumer market as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>The white paper finds that, though federal procurement policy has put greater and greater emphasis on purchasing \u201cenvironmentally preferable\u201d products, these advances do not yet <i>require<\/i> agencies to purchase low-carbon products or to incorporate carbon lifecycle analysis into purchasing decisions.\u00a0 In 2007, President Bush expanded federal procurement policy by requiring federal agencies to \u201cgive preference\u2026to the purchase of products that are more \u2018environmentally friendly,\u2019 \u201d<a title=\"\" href=\"#_edn4\">[iv]<\/a> but this policy did not focus on greenhouse gases.\u00a0 While the policy nevertheless reflected the importance of reducing carbon emissions and established a broad preference for a <i>range<\/i> of product environmental attributes\u2014which could in theory encompass upstream supply chain impacts\u2014the policy had limited impact.\u00a0 For example, in practice purchasing preferences for products with increased energy efficiency or reduced emissions were often evaluated from a \u201clifetime<i> ownership<\/i>\u201d perspective, rather than a full cradle-to-grave analysis.<\/p>\n<p>Building on this policy, President Obama\u2019s 2009 Executive Order 13514 represents the most expansive \u00a0mandate yet for green product procurement.<a title=\"\" href=\"#_edn5\">[v]<\/a>\u00a0 This policy is further bolstered by the requirement that federal agencies must report their carbon emissions, including indirect emissions, but currently agencies do not need to report greenhouse gas emissions from products they procure.\u00a0 As the CCCL white paper describes, although these are positive strides, the federal government can do more to clarify and expand its procurement policy to encourage and\/or require lifecycle carbon analysis in federal procurement.\u00a0 Doing so would not only enable federal agencies to reduce their carbon footprint, but moreover could spur greater uptake of lifecycle analysis for products, which in turn could promote a wider consumer market for sustainable products.<\/p>\n<div>\n<hr align=\"left\" size=\"1\" width=\"33%\" \/>\n<div>\n<p><a title=\"\"
