Provide feedback on Washington’s draft Comprehensive Climate Action Plan
Attend the kick-off meeting, listening sessions, or complete the public comment form.
Washington has made progress on climate action and setting emissions limits, but we haven't had a comprehensive, economy-wide climate plan in more than a decade.
The Comprehensive Climate Action Plan (CCAP) serves as a roadmap for reducing emissions and building a sustainable future. It evaluates current policies, incorporates community input, and recommends new strategies developed through broad collaboration with tribes, communities, businesses and experts.
The CCAP draft will be posted June 30 and includes:
-
Where we’ve been: A record of statewide greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 through 2021.
-
Where we’re headed: Statewide greenhouse gas emissions projections through 2050 based on current policies.
-
Where we need to go: Legal limits on statewide greenhouse gas emissions through 2050.
-
How to get there: A climate pollution reduction plan that spans the entire economy, with 36 greenhouse gas reduction strategies, made up of 150+ existing and proposed climate actions. All of these actions work together to address emissions from multiple sources.
-
Analysis of benefits and impacts of proposed climate actions, especially for overburdened communities
- A preliminary workforce planning analysis.
- Information about next steps.
The final CCAP will be completed by December 1, 2025.
How to provide feedback on the draft CCAP
During the public comment period (June 30, 2025-August 22, 2025), you can:
We want your feedback on:
- Which greenhouse gas reduction measures should be prioritized? Which ones shouldn't be in the final CCAP?
- How would you like to see these measures implemented? Do you see partnership opportunities in your community?
- What regional considerations should be included in the CCAP?
- What environmental justice considerations should be included in the CCAP?
- Are there training and education programs, workforce reports and studies, or recommendations that should be included in the workforce planning analysis?
We also want to share your stories in the CCAP. If you have a story that demonstrates the need for a particular climate action in your community or serves as an example of successful climate action that could be duplicated elsewhere that you want featured in the CCAP, please fill out the CCAP Stories Submission Form.
