From the peninsula to the palouse, we’re moving all of Washington forward together
Climate Finance
Invest + incentivize for a rapid and just transition.
From green bonds to carbon savings accounts, a successful and timely transition to a low-carbon economy is going to require upfront investment at scale in order to bring new technologies and options online and make them accessible and affordable for everyone. Whether it's decarbonizing our transportation sector or our buildings, supporting farmers, families, or small business owners, we are developing innovative plans and proposals, so WA has the right combination of incentives and investments to make sure no one gets left behind.
Natural Climate Solutions
Investing in sustainable farms, fields, forests, and supply chains
Our stakeholder engagement and advocacy work were crucial to establishing the Sustainable Farms & Fields Program, a voluntary, economic incentive program that will provide much-needed financial support to farmers and ensure that WA remains a leader in climate action as well as agricultural production and innovation. Now, we are working to ensure this program is a model for success and to expand financing and investment in natural climate solutions in Washington and beyond.
Pricing Carbon Emissions
Reducing reliance on fossil fuels
Carbon Washington fully supports the Climate Commitment Act as a major advancement in reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. By putting a price on carbon emissions, the Act takes a crucial step toward achieving our climate goals, something we have long championed. It also provides necessary revenue to accelerate decarbonization efforts and enables the funding of important programs like the Working Families Tax Credit, which helps lower-income families meet their needs.
