Program overview
The Environmental Quality Commission adopted the Climate Protection Program 2024 rules on Nov. 21, 2024. Visit the
EQC web page to find the meeting agenda and materials. For additional information on the rulemaking, visit the
CPP2024 rulemaking web page. You can also read this
fact sheet summarizing the differences between the 2021 Climate Protection Program and CPP 2024.
In December 2023, the Oregon Court of Appeals determined that DEQ did not fully comply with notice requirements during the 2021 Climate Protection Program rulemaking process and invalidated the program. The CPP 2024 rulemaking is DEQ's work to re-establish a program of similar scope and ambition while also incorporating lessons learned from two years of implementation.
