Our vision is for net-zero carbon emissions in Washington, and a prosperous, healthy future for all.
Our mission is to increase demand for climate action and fight for smart carbon policy.
By focusing on effective, efficient, and equitable climate solutions, we develop and promote programs and policies that are supported by diverse stakeholders and set an example for national and global action.
Effective
Significantly reduces net greenhouse gas emissions in line with the best available scientific and economic evidence.
Efficient
Cuts carbon with low-cost, high-impact solutions, with an emphasis on market-based approaches.
Equitable
Considers the needs and opportunities of everyone while increasing fairness and reducing inequality.
“Reducing carbon pollution without harming jobs and families is a tough challenge. It requires thoughtfulness, a clear view of the evidence and the tradeoffs, and a willingness to work with people on both sides of the aisle and both sides of the state. I’m grateful to Carbon Washington for embodying those values.”
— Former State Senator Paul Graves
