Description RCW 70A.45.040 requires the Washington State Department of Ecology, in collaboration with University of Washington’s Climate Impacts Group, to analyze “each successive global or national assessment of climate change science” and recommend whether lawmakers should amend Washington’s statutory limits on greenhouse gas emissions. This report summarizes the science from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Sixth Assessment Report and the U.S. Global Change Research Program’s Fifth National Climate Assessment, discusses local climate projections, and makes policy recommendations based on these findings.
