Protect Critical Climate Funding

The Oregon League of Conservation Voters (OLCV) is a steering committee member of the Building Resilience Coalition. Learn more here.

Over the past few years, the Oregon Legislature has made smart investments in climate solutions: like helping renters stay cool during deadly heat waves, supporting rural clean energy projects, and creating good-paying jobs in the clean energy economy. These programs are working — but they need continued funding to deliver results for Oregonians across the state.

Right now, Oregon lawmakers are making budget decisions that will shape the next two years. They need to hear from you. Join us in urging legislators to support a strong Climate Justice Budget. 

Key programs at risk without renewed investment include:

• Rental and community heat pump programs that lower bills and protect people from extreme weather
• Community-based renewable energy and resilience projects for Tribes and rural communities
• Climate-smart land management that supports farmers, ranchers, and working forests
• One-stop-shop resources to help families afford clean, efficient home upgrades

Oregon families are facing rising energy costs, worsening climate disasters, and now a wave of dangerous federal rollbacks that threaten to undermine decades of progress. But Oregon can lead — if lawmakers invest in the programs that lower energy bills, reduce climate pollution, and protect our communities from extreme heat, wildfires, and drought.
