| Description | In 2021, the Washington State Legislature passed the Climate Commitment Act (CCA), which establishes a comprehensive program to reduce carbon pollution and achieve greenhouse gas limits set in state law. The CCA, codified in Chapter 70A.65 RCW, requires entities covered by the law to obtain emissions allowances equal to the greenhouse gases they generate. The revenue from the purchases of emissions allowances will then be re-invested into projects and grants that help to achieve climate change mitigation and resilience goals. |
