Protecting our environment and addressing climate change requires all of us.

The Environment and Climate Council of the Washington State Democratic Party (ECC) brings together research, education, outreach, and collaboration to advance policies that safeguard Washington’s natural landscapes and support meaningful action on climate. Working alongside a diverse community of stakeholders we advocate for practical, science-driven solutions that help our state both mitigate and adapt to a changing climate.

Whether you’re a longtime member, joining us for the first time, or simply looking to support our mission, we invite you to get involved.
