Last November, an unprecedented statewide coalition of 600 Tribal nations, businesses, labor unions, doctors and nurses, and community organizations came together to defeat Initiative 2117, which would have repealed the Climate Commitment Act (CCA). The landslide defeat of I-2117 enabled Washington state to protect and deploy billions of dollars toward thousands of clean air, clean water, and safe, accessible transportation projects across our state.
In 2024, Clean & Prosperous Institute (CPI) created the Risk of Repeal map to educate users about how repealing the CCA would threaten climate and clean energy investments across Washington. Now that the CCA has been overwhelmingly endorsed by voters, we’ve updated this resource to Mapping Washington’s Climate Commitments. It is the single most comprehensive resource that tracks where and how revenue from Washington’s landmark cap-and-invest program is spent.
The map now reflects the 2025 Legislative session and features approximately 2,700 unique CCA-funded projects totaling $4.74 billion in existing and planned spending through June 2027.
Here are the key takeaways:
- Of the $3.19 billion in CCA revenue raised through allowance auctions to-date, $3.04 billion has been appropriated for an authorized, location-specific outcome. This means that 95 percent of CCA revenue raised to-date has been allocated toward a specific purpose.
- $1.66 billion in mapped CCA projects are either Tribal-led or allocated to overburdened communities, which represents more than half of all mapped projects.
- Since the last map update in February 2025, just under $1 billion in CCA revenue has been authorized for a specific, mappable project, including awarded funding from impactful programs like the Clean Energy Community Grants and Landfill Methane Reduction Grants. This shows significant and accelerated progress by the Legislature and Washington state agencies to allocate funding.
