Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

Last year, I signed an Executive Order directing state agencies to: - Set caps on climate pollution - Increase energy efficiency requirements for new buildings - Create a statewide electric charging infrastructure plan to accelerate the transition to zero-emission vehicles. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

And earlier this year, we built on it — working with our business community — to set one of the most aggressive timelines in the U.S. for moving to 100% clean electricity by 2040. #COP26 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

In 2016, I passed a plan to transition from coal power to renewable energy, the first legislation of its kind in the United States. #COP26 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

We can tackle climate change and grow our economy at the same time. These goals are not mutually exclusive. Oregon is a shining example of how it can be done. #COP26 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

I leave @COP26 feeling overwhelmingly hopeful and energized. While we face grave challenges that require immediate action, I know that by leveraging our local, state, federal, and global partnerships, we can take meaningful climate action and protect future generations. #COP26 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

I joined @ENERGY, state, and municipal officials to discuss clean energy. Oregon has set one of the most aggressive clean energy timelines in the country, and together, we can create more 21st century jobs by investing in clean energy & building a zero-emission economy. #COP26 https://t.co/4fDzkaH4Oq — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

Partnerships and collaborations like this are key to climate action. I encourage the Biden-Harris administration to consider joining the @OA_Alliance to further implement ocean-related climate action. #COP26 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

I’m proud Oregon is a founding member of the @OA_Alliance, and in 2019 we completed our ocean acidification and hypoxia action plan — meeting our commitment to the OA Alliance community. #COP26 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

Future emissions not only threaten our marine species and ecosystems, but also the future ability of the ocean to support all life on Earth. #COP26 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

Oregon is known for our salmon, halibut, and Dungeness crab fisheries — they are iconic parts of our coastal communities, and represent millions of dollars annually in economic activity. #COP26 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

It is imperative that we integrate oceans into our climate actions. We are fortunate that the ocean has greatly slowed the rate of climate change — but it has come at great cost. As the ocean warms, it is becoming more acidified and oxygen depleted. #COP26 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

So glad to join my fellow governors @GovInslee, @GovHawaii, and @GovPritzker at @COP26. Addressing the climate crisis requires strong partnerships and collaboration across all levels of government, and governors are leading the way in taking climate action. #COP26 https://t.co/OR8iRx4fa5 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

When it comes to the climate crisis, my focus for the next 14 months is centering equity and racial justice as we implement @POTUS's Build Back Better agenda, build more EV infrastructure, and create more green jobs. #COP26 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

As Governor, I'm proud of how Oregon has led the way in fighting the climate crisis. In 2016, we passed the first legislation of its kind to transition from coal power to renewable energy, and this year, we passed one of the most aggressive clean energy timelines in the country. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

Oregon is witnessing the impacts of climate change, with nearly every year having more extreme weather than the last. Thank you @ClimateGroup for the chance to share how Oregon has taken meaningful, equitable action to address the climate crisis head-on. #Under2Coalition https://t.co/0mozMuxsk8 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

Tackling climate change is a moral imperative—but it is an economic imperative as well. What is clear is we cannot leave behind our historically underserved communities. The time is now, we can’t afford to wait. #COP26 — PolitiTweet.org

Oregon is leading the way when it comes to state-level climate action. It was a pleasure to discuss Oregon’s accomplishments and how to best take further action with @USClimate, @ClimateGroup, @c40cities, global leaders, and fellow governors.

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

Partnerships are key to climate action, whether it's government, business communities, public-private, or community-based organizations. As I start my first day of #COP26, I'm looking forward to building on these partnerships, and taking meaningful steps to fight this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

Excited to arrive in Glasgow for @COP26. We are running out of time to address the climate crisis, which is why I’m looking forward to meeting with fellow governors, scientists, activists, and world leaders to determine ways to take meaningful action together. #COP26 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

Now, Congress must act quickly to pass the Build Back Better Act, which will make historic investments in Oregon families, create jobs, and put the country on track to meet our climate goals. https://t.co/sod26MuC6m — PolitiTweet.org
