The PCAP Advisory Committee provides invaluable guidance in selecting and framing the action items in the presidential plan. However, final decisions about the PCAP's content are made by the project's Executive Director. The Advisory Committee has chosen not to seek consensus on the PCAP's recommendations, in part because consensus is unlikely on so many action items and in part because as it aligns with the lowest common denominator among policy options, consensus can be the enemy of boldness. As a result, not all Advisory Committee members agree with all PCAP recommendations. The Committee is unanimous, however, in supporting the need for courageous, comprehensive and timely climate action by the next President of the United States.
