Washington Joins Climate Registry to Track, Report Greenhouse GasesWashington is among the founders of The Climate Registry, a national collaborative effort to develop and manage a common voluntary greenhouse gas emissions-reporting system. The Climate Registry will assist states and tribes in measuring, tracking, and managing emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs). The Climate Registry will provide the measurement and reporting infrastructure to support a wide range of voluntary state and regional programs designed to manage and reduce GHG emissions. Washington’s involvement with the registry is linked to the state’s participation in the Western Regional Climate Action Initiative. Washington is working with Oregon, California, Arizona, New Mexico, and British Columbia to coordinate efforts to reduce GHG emissions on a regional basis, and to promote the development and use of clean and renewable energy.
