Washington State and Initiative 2117
Washington Audubon is gearing up to defend our state’s Climate Commitment Act (CCA), a foundational climate law that provides billions of dollars in resources for conservation and climate action. The Act is one of the strongest cap and invest programs in the country. This November, repealing the CCA will be on the ballot as Initiative 2117.
Initiative 2117, if passed, would significantly impact our shared environmental efforts by weakening carbon pricing and stripping crucial funding for climate and conservation initiatives. So far over 70 organizations have signed on in opposition and we would like to invite you to join.
Kittitas Audubon Society has signed up to help defeat this initiative.

What’s in the Climate Commitment Act
The Climate Commitment Act (CCA) caps and reduces greenhouse gas emissions from Washington’s largest emitting sources and industries, allowing businesses to find the most efficient path to lower carbon emissions. This powerful program works alongside other critical climate policies to help Washington achieve its commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 95% by 2050.
