Tackling climate change is our priority
Climate change is one of the paramount environmental and economic challenges for our generation and the actions we take today will shape the health, safety, economy, and environment of tomorrow.   King County is committed to taking bold action on climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, preparing for climate change impacts, and supporting resilience in communities disproportionately impacted by climate change.
Climate change threatens the health and safety of people, the economy, and environment, both locally and globally. In King County, we are already seeing the impacts of a changing climate including: warming temperatures, warming and acidifying marine waters, rising sea levels, increasing flooding risk, decreasing mountain snowpack, and less water in the summer. While people are responsible for creating the climate problem, people also hold the key to the solution of our problem.
