Description
Description | The Climate Protection Program (CPP) in Oregon is a state-level initiative created by an executive order from then-Gov. Kate Brown to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It places enforceable limits on emissions from transportation fuels and large stationary sources, including natural gas usage, with a goal to reduce emissions by 50% by 2035 and 90% by 2050. The program imposes fees on fossil fuel consumers, which are higher than in other states, and the funds are directed to nonprofits for emissions reduction projects, particularly benefiting environmental justice communities. The program has faced criticism for its high costs, lack of legislative oversight, and exclusion of electric utilities from its scope. |
