Gov. Jay Inslee joined other Pacific Coast leaders in San Francisco on Thursday to collectively reaffirm their commitment to the fight against climate change.
The West Coast, they said, with its progressive policies and abundance of hydropower, is positioned to spearhead the country’s first zero-carbon economy through the popularization of electric vehicles and the implementation of forthcoming carbon markets.
“The Pacific Coast leads on virtually everything in social and economic development, and we are yet again leading the world and the nation when it comes to the development of a clean energy economy,” Inslee said on Thursday.
He was joined by California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown and British Columbia Premier John Horgan. On Thursday, the four renewed an agreement last signed in 2016 to jointly pursue decarbonization, clean energy, green jobs, environmental justice and disaster preparedness.
This includes, among other things, policy efforts to increase charging stations along the West Coast, develop a power grid that doesn’t rely on fossil fuels and improve the region’s defenses against heat waves, drought and wildfire.
