Before we share our direction for 2025 next month, the CETI Team takes a moment to look back at how we worked to accelerate an equitable clean energy transition in 2024, which was a year of considerable growth and output for us all.

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions accounting is a critical tool for governments, businesses, and climate advocates to understand progress toward emission reduction goals over time, but local, state, national, corporate, and global methods use varying types of accounting systems, which creates complexity.

Jade Sauvé presented a webinar demystifying jurisdictional and corporate emissions accounting methods.

The study investigates the opportunities and impacts of renewable energy development in rural communities throughout Washington.

Jeanne presented findings from Net-Zero Northwest and some current CETI projects to an energy policy class at University of Washington’s Evans School.

With the 2024 election in the rearview mirror, the CETI team and Board are assessing the impact that local, state and federal results may have on achieving an equitable clean energy transition in the Northwest.

As the leaves begin to turn, CETI is also experiencing changes. Learn about exciting staff and program updates in our September newsletter.

August was exceptionally productive as the CETI team pushed hard to finish multiple projects with end-of-the-summer deadlines.

The summer is flying by. The CETI Team is working hard to stay on track with our many projects, as well as get into the mountains and out onto the water as much as possible to appreciate what we are trying so hard to protect and preserve.
