Invest in Seattle's Green New Deal and a healthy climate future for all. Seattle's Green New Deal calls for eliminating our City's climate pollution by 2030, while creating thousands of good jobs and healthy, climate-resilient neighborhoods for all. The 2022 City Budget can lay the groundwork for this equitable energy transition, while meeting urgent needs for utility assistance, building community climate resilience and creating pathways to good living-wage jobs. Key recommendations include:
$85M per year, for 3 years, to transition all low-income homes in our city to clean energy. Doing this will tackle Seattle’s fastest-growing source of climate pollution, while simultaneously improving the health of our communities, reducing utility bills and creating good, living-wage jobs.
$100K to create a roadmap for community climate resilience hubs in every Seattle neighborhood
$280,000 for Indigenous-led clean energy, sustainability and cultural preservation projects
