We’ve done a lot in Washington to advance our efforts to cut toxic air pollution, provide more options for efficient, clean energy, and create good in-state jobs. We know Washington voters want climate action—we’re coming off an incredible victory in 2024 by defeating I-2117 to protect the Climate Commitment Act.
Our Legislative work in 2025 will zero in on more ways we can continue to go big and reduce our climate pollution by half within the next five years. Addressing climate change has always been an enormous challenge, but our wins in Washington demonstrate that we can and we must keep building on our progress.
We’re also working with the Environmental Priorities Coalition. You can read more about those priorities here.

The impacts of fossil fuels are not just environmentally catastrophic, they’re deeply inequitable. Those who do the least to cause climate disruption are hit hardest by it. To break free from fossil fuels, we need strategies that deliver effective, affordable solutions and economic opportunity for all.
Today in Olympia, House and Senate committees both advanced proposals to move us faster towards 100% fossil-free electricity—meaning a cleaner world, a stronger economy, and healthier communities.
Progress, fortunately, isn’t just about the performance of the federal government. In Washington, our legislature has big opportunities for climate leadership right now.
Clean energy, cost saving, job creating investments from the ten states that have already put a price on climate pollution
Global temperatures aren't the only thing heating up--states and cities are showing an appetite this year for strong climate policy. We've got the latest news on climate and clean energy.
A coalition of more than 25 organizations sent a message to Washington state legislators calling for strong climate action, in the form of three key solutions: (1) supporting a path to 100% carbon-free electricity, (2) putting a price on carbon pollution, and (3) advancing clean fuels for transportation.
A new Washington state poll demonstrates strong public support for legislators prepared to act on climate.

We need to place our power sector on a path to 100% clean power, electrify transportation, and boost efficiency. Protecting clean air is a first step.
