CLEW – Climate Legislative and Executive Workgroup

What is it? CLEW was created by legislation passed in early 2013. It is a committee chaired by Governor Inslee and has four other members whom are elected members of the state legislature. 

Why was it created? The work group is charged with recommending a state program of actions and policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. If and when implemented, the recommendations would ensure that the state reaches its emissions reduction limits set by the legislature in 2008.

How can you get involved? Over the next month, the committee is hosting public hearings and accepting public testimony. There is a public hearing scheduled in Seattle on October 23^rd. If you would like more information or to find out how to volunteer, email Jason at jason.merges@gmail.com
