Glossary

This is an evolving list of terms frequently used in the context of Project Frame. Written in collaboration among working group members, it’s meant to provide common language, as it would be applied in Frame. This is not a comprehensive list of terms associated with emissions reduction but a starting place for new terms or applications. We’ll update and improve terms based on feedback: please share your thoughts at impact@primecoalition.org!
