Citizens' Climate University: Dividend Delivery Study

 

The following webinar represents the key findings of a study commissioned by CCL and written by Allen H. Lerman. Lerman served for 42 years as an economist with the United States Treasury Department and conducted this research to determine how a dividend return to American households could work.

Join Dr. Danny Richter, CCL's Vice President of Government Affairs in exploring the detailed how's and why's of CCL's dividend return. The webinar addresses questions about the carbon fund, distribution framework, and the dividend's taxability. It also tackles distribution challenges like handling changing eligibility and getting dividends to as many American residents as possible with maximum transparency and minimum cost.
