Oregon Legislators commit to funding major climate action and resilience priorities
Climate Budget for 2024: Lowering Families’ Housing and Transportation Costs
A Climate Budget brings an equitable and rapid transition from fossil fuels to clean energy closer within reach while increasing the resilience of our communities. Funding to enable urgently needed home repairs and efficiency upgrades and to make new and used electric vehicles more affordable will lower the cost of living, improve health and resilience, and reduce climate pollution. Supporting needed investment in these popular programs was requested during the 2023 legislative session, and needed more than ever.
