Oregon’s 2025 Legislative Session: Climate Wins, Losses, and the Road Ahead
Oregon’s 2025 legislative session delivered mixed results for climate progress. Sound familiar? That’s because this is the second year in a row that Oregon lawmakers fell short of delivering the bold investments and climate action this moment demands. While we secured hard-fought wins and defended against serious threats that would unwind existing progress, this was far from a banner year for climate action in Oregon. Still, this session laid important groundwork, and we have a clear call to action for the road ahead.

This fall, the Northwest won big on climate action

Despite a bleak outlook for climate action nationally, the people of the Pacific Northwest showed up in a big way this November, demonstrating that when communities get organized and work together for a healthier future, we can accomplish remarkable victories.

Stella saves big on an electric heat pump, but will others in WA enjoy the same benefits?

Between several state and local clean energy incentives and heat pump rebate programs, Stella saved over $6,000 by replacing her oil furnace with an electric heat pump. However, clean energy success stories like Stella’s would be endangered if Initiative 2066 passes in Washington.

Time to speak up for Oregon's farmworkers!

Farmworkers quite literally put food on our tables, which places them among the most essential workers in our society. Their work is physically strenuous and often downright hazardous, especially with worsening climate impacts and extreme weather events. However, Oregon's current minimum required housing protections are deficient.

Vote NO on I-2066

Pledge to vote NO on I-2066

I-2066 would increase energy bills for Washingtonians, and attack energy efficiency. Funded by powerful groups representing the interests of fossil fuel corporations, it's important that we vote NO on I-2066 alongside this year's other bad ballot initiatives.

Hands together

Here's what you can do this fall for climate action. The stakes are high.

Because of your efforts, the Northwest is headed in the right direction on climate and clean energy!. But this fall, we've got to be fired up to protect our clean air, our clean transportation, our clean energy jobs, as big-spending fossil fuel allies try to push us backwards.

Cutting the high cost of urban shade

Urban heat islands are caused by too many buildings and not enough green space. Accordingly, a natural solution is to add greenery back into cities.
