As we prepare for 2025, the task feels daunting. 5 years to cut emissions in half. Real headwinds. Corporations peddling dubious “solutions” with little care for public health or environmental justice.
How do we focus our advocacy wisely?
In Climate Reality Project Portland’s legislative committee, we narrow our scope to statewide or local issues, where we can meet with decision-makers and have an impact. We consult with multiple climate and environmental groups in Oregon and collaborate whenever possible. And we formulate our positions in service of The Climate Reality Project’s five pillars:
1) Just transition to clean energy
2) Zero-carbon transportation
3) Climate justice and public health
4) Building green communities
5) Protecting democracy
