California Study Mission 2.0

What can WA learn from CA? We traveled south to find out.

Leaders are learners

Washington state is a climate action leader. And that’s good for Washington, as it positions us well to prosper in the burgeoning clean economy. But we’re not alone, as other states are innovating in business and public policy.

Washington’s architects of the Climate Commitment Act (CCA) studied bills from other states — particularly California — to optimize ours. Now, as we implement the CCA and build our clean energy economy, it’s important that we continue to learn from other states. That’s why in June, the Clean & Prosperous Institute led our second study mission to California.
