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.
[PRESS RELEASE] A group of environmental, climate, and business organizations intervened in the Oregon Court of Appeals to defend the state’s Climate Protection Program (CPP) against challenges from the oil and gas industry.
Oregon’s Climate Protection Program protects our health, cuts pollution from the state’s largest emitters, and helps shield families from rising energy costs. Big oil and gas are once again suing in court to avoid accountability. We’re committed to defending this program and ensuring a safe, healthy, affordable Oregon for today and future generations.
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.
It’s official! Oregon renewed its commitment to address the climate crisis while helping to build a cleaner, healthier, and more resilient future for everyone. We did this together!
Hundreds of you showed up to public hearings and submitted comments to the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality in favor of a robust Climate Protection Program (CPP) that holds our state’s largest polluters accountable. Climate Solutions and our partners in the Coalition for Climate and Economic Justice (CCEJ) extend a sincere “Thank You” to everyone who took the time to submit public comments to help restore this vital program.
Oregon business, tribal, and labor leaders unite against dangerous oil and gas industry delay tactics, urge state leaders to restore climate protections.
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.
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!
