​Climate Pollution Reduction Pl​an


Our plan is a detailed roadmap on how to achieve our climate goals of reducing greenhouse gas​ emissions by 60% from 2006 levels by 2031 and ultimately to achieve net-zero emissions by 2045. New policies will transition us from the fossil fuel era of the past to a clean energy future. Citizens will benefit from cleaner air, improved public health, lower energy costs, and more jobs.
