CETI is focused on what needs to be done in our region by 2030, gleaning all that we have learned from our Net-Zero Northwest analysis, as well as the projects we have been fortunate to work on with the Oregon and Washington state agencies that are writing policies and developing programs to create an equitable clean energy economy in their respective states.

Two SCALE 2030 papers explore how to strategically accelerate an equitable clean buildings transition in Washington.

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.

CETI developed this resource to help demystify jurisdictional and corporate emissions accounting.
