Press Release

Gov. Jay Inslee is in Glasgow, Scotland to participate in the 26th annual Conference of Parties, a U.N. climate summit that brings leaders together from across the globe to commit and take action to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions to curb the worsening impacts of climate change.

Today, the governor joined other leaders from the Pacific Coast Collaborative for the launch of the Low Carbon Construction Task Force.

"Washington and the PCC region are leaders in demonstrating how strategies to reduce climate pollution also create good jobs and a strong economy," Inslee said. "Using the economic muscle of our region to spur rapid advances in the development and use of low carbon building materials will help us go further and faster on reducing carbon pollution, and builds on the strengths of our manufacturing sector, commitment to clean electricity, and skilled workforce."
