Washington Comprehensive Climate Action Plan

CETI and Evolved Energy Research began working with the Washington Department of Commerce in April 2024 to develop economy-wide energy pathways scenarios that would achieve the state’s emission reduction goals, form the basis for Washington’s Comprehensive Climate Action Planning (CCAP), and meet Environmental Protection Agency Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG) requirements.

The project modeled the impact of different policies on Washington’s ability to meet emission reduction targets. Additional work was done to investigate the health benefits of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, workforce implications, and the impact on Washingtonians’ pocketbooks.

The final Washington CCAP was released by the Department of Commerce in April 2026.
