— from the office of Governor Jay Inslee —
Gov. Jay Inslee will participate in The Global Climate Action Summit next week. The event brings together people from around the world to acknowledge climate achievements of states, regions, cities, companies, investors and individuals, and to launch new commitments and accelerated action in the fight against climate change.
Inslee is the co-chair of the U.S. Climate Alliance, a bipartisan coalition of 17 governors committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions consistent with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
Along with Oregon, California, and British Columbia, Washington state is part of the Pacific Coast Collaborative. The PCC works build a low carbon regional economy by facilitating collaboration on issues that cross borders and jurisdictional boundaries along the West Coast.
At the Summit, Inslee will assume a new role as co-chair of the Under2 Coalition for North America.
