Climate Solutions

We have one decade to cut our climate pollution in half. Making our transportation fuels cleaner is one solution among many we must pursue-but it's a straightforward one that has already been successful in California, and Oregon, and British Columbia. Washington cannot wait another year to pass a Clean Fuel Standard. This year's legislative session is taking place online-but you can still sign in to testify, or to register your support for climate action. We'll keep you informed! Later this January, join Meredith Connolly from Climate Solutions and Janine Benner from the Oregon Department of Energy as we explore what powers our energy system today, where the trends are headed, and it all means for an energy-smart, climate-safe future for Oregon.

The New Energy Cities program, which concluded in 2016, was a partnership between Climate Solutions and innovative Northwest cities and counties that wish to be early adopters of the 21st Century clean energy system. We work with communities to help them achieve deep reduction in carbon emissions with strategies for energy efficient buildings, clean fuels transportation, and renewable energy. The program offered expertise in program design, finance, policy, and technical assistance to help communities develop practical, comprehensive strategies customized to their unique circumstances and assets.
