Expectations for Washington's I-2117 and its Impact on Carbon Markets


Listen Later

Initiative 2117 (I-2117) on the Washington state ballot could fundamentally alter the state’s approach to climate policy. I-2117 seeks to prohibit state agencies from implementing any form of carbon tax credit trading, including cap-and-trade/invest programs, and would repeal significant portions of the landmark 2021 Washington Climate Commitment Act. In this episode, we’re joined by Isaac Kastama, Managing Partner of Water Street Public Affairs LLC and who lobbies on behalf of Clean & Prosperous Washington, and Tom Wolf, bp America’s Senior Government Relations Manager, U.S. West Coast. Together we will explore potential consequences of the initiative, what it means for Washington’s climate goals and investments, and the broader question – should this measure become law? Whether you’re following the initiative closely or just tuning in, this episode will provide an in-depth look at a pivotal moment for climate policy in Washington and beyond.
