The Climate Protection Program (CPP) creates a clear, achievable plan to require Oregon's largest fossil fuel companies and major polluters to cut their carbon pollution dramatically over the coming years. These can also contribute to the innovative Community Climate Investment program, which is estimated to deliver more than $150 million to help lower Oregonian’s energy bills and support clean energy projects that benefit Black, Indigenous, people of color, low-income, rural, and other communities across the state.
Oregon business, tribal, and labor leaders unite against dangerous oil and gas industry delay tactics, urge state leaders to restore climate protections.
It’s time! It’s time for us to protect and strengthen Oregon’s landmark Climate Protection Program (CPP)! You can help by sharing your thoughts about the importance of protecting our state’s climate future, and the need for a strong CPP.
Late last year, powerful fossil fuel companies and their industry groups convinced an Oregon state court to invalidate the state's new Climate Protection Program, based only on a procedural technicality. Now we've got to make sure it's fully reinstated.
I'm writing today with an important request: please tell the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality of what you think about the Climate Protection Program rules!
[PRESS RELEASE] Avista inappropriately billed customers for anti-climate litigation spending, and is proposing to increase bills for continued litigation costs, according to testimony submitted by environmental groups to the Oregon PUC.
Earlier today, Oregon's Environmental Quality Commission just approved new rules that will help hold Oregon's industrial polluters accountable.
The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has proposed exempting the state's fossil gas power plants from their Climate Protection Program. This cannot stand.
The EQC has decided to stack the cap-and-reduce rulemaking advisory committee with fossil fuel and big business interests.
By no longer allowing industries to spew unlimited amounts of pollution into our air, DEQ's new cap-and-reduce policy can help transition Oregon to cleaner ways of powering our economy and communities.
One major component of the Oregon Climate Action Plan is a directive for the state Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to set up a new program to “cap and reduce” climate-harming pollution from Oregon’s large polluters.

Oregon businesses and community organizations support reinstatement of the Climate Protection Program, Oregon’s path to a clean energy future. A process is now underway to restore the landmark climate policy before the end of 2024.
