MCAT joined 24 other climate, environment and equity groups to urge that DEQ to:
1. Adopt a science-based emissions cap that achieves at least the same level of cumulative emissions
reductions by 2035 as the previously-adopted program and require immediate compliance;
2. Maintain a strong, effective, independent Community Climate Investment program that is
responsive to and prioritizes environmental justice community needs and centers environmental
justice communities in decision-making;
3. Hold large stationary source industrial polluters accountable to mandatory declining emissions
targets under the cap;
4. Utilize accurate data and cost information, including the federal social cost of carbon, to calculate
economic and cost-saving benefits of reducing emissions under the CPP; and
5. Uphold the established rulemaking timeline and commitment to readopting the rules this year.Download
