Gov. Jay Inslee on Monday unveiled his 2024 climate agenda that continues the state?s action to protect Washingtonians from climate change and create clean energy jobs. Nearly 100 students, laborers, business owners, Tribal leaders, legislators and people from communities overburdened by pollution joined to rally in support of Washington?s unwavering commitment to fighting climate change.
Inslee highlighted three policy proposals aimed at oil company accountability, strengthening the state?s cap-and-invest program, and phasing out methane gas. He also previewed how new Climate Commitment Act funds will be put to work in neighborhoods and communities across Washington.
?We?re going to protect our children?s lungs by converting diesel buses to electric and upgrading schools to improve air quality. We?re going to scale our programs to retrofit affordable multifamily housing, so our most vulnerable communities can live comfortably while reducing their utility bills,? Inslee said of the Climate Commitment Act investments. ?We?re accelerating installations of EV chargers across the state. We?re partnering with communities to design and develop sustainable communities. We?re enabling Tribes to switch to electric boats. And we?re assisting hundreds of thousands of Washingtonians with their electricity bills.?
Washington's suite of climate laws work together to slash greenhouse gas emissions across all economic sectors.
