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.

New Year, New Rates

While many of us are still reeling from the sticker shock we received from our energy bills after last year’s extreme winter weather, a new round of rate increases is right around the corner. If you are anything like me, many of you are thinking about those bills as you debate whether to turn up the heat or bundle up.

Clean energy progress in the balance

A new study confirms that Washington's landmark climate law is on track to catalyze more than $9.1 billion in economic output and create more than 45,000 jobs over eight years. Unless it's repealed.

Washington climate advocates, it's time to suit up!

We are spreading the word across the state to make sure people vote NO on I-2117 to protect our air and water, forests and farmland, jobs, and transportation investments. And NO on I-2066 to protect energy efficiency programs and keep energy costs from rising.

Clean energy offers resilience in the face of extreme heat

Extreme heat events like this are a dramatic example of the dangers of burning fossil fuels. We need clean energy solutions that protect our climate AND our communities.

Getting renters in on the heat pump revolution

Did you know that 24 of Oregon's most advanced, energy-efficient homes are located in Grand Ronde? But how do we get these benefits into the hands of more renters across the region?
