CDA Policy Positions

CDA Policy Positions

The Copper Development Association advocates for common-sense, copper-positive policies that support a secure domestic supply chain, enable innovation, and reinforce copper’s role in building a stronger, more sustainable America.

CDA engages with policymakers at the federal, state, and local levels to advance legislation and regulations that recognize copper’s essential contributions to infrastructure, manufacturing, energy systems, and public health. Our policy positions are shaped by data, guided by industry expertise, and designed to ensure the U.S. copper industry remains globally competitive and environmentally responsible.

Explore the issues we’re focused on—and how we’re working to ensure copper continues to improve the lives of all Americans.
