Landmark climate leadership: WA invests in environmental justice
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.
