  • The Week in Sustainability

    October 14–18, 2024


    This week:

    We focused on the Climate Commitment Act in Washington State and the push to repeal it during this upcoming election. Launched in 2023 this legislation targets major business emitters, aiming to significantly reduce emissions and align with IPCC and SBTI targets. It has already generated $2 billion for various mitigation projects, including retrofitting buildings and electrifying transportation. Despite its successes, critics, notably the political action committee Let's Go Washington, attribute rising gas prices to the Act, though evidence contradicts this claim. Repealing the Act would not only undermine climate action but also prioritize business interests over community needs, potentially increasing the long-term costs of climate change.
