CCA account spending & funds reporting

The Legislature created seven accounts, each with a specific environmental focus, intended to house money raised by the Cap-and-Invest carbon market auctions.

Ecology’s Cap-and-Invest Program, established by the Climate Commitment Act (CCA) in 2021, has generated over $2.8 billion to date.

The CCA requires Ecology to publish a report each year that explains how dollars appropriated from CCA accounts are spent. Agencies can find reporting guidance below.

Fiscal Year 2026

Fiscal Year 2026 reporting by agencies will be due soon after the close of AFRS in September 2026. Communication with agencies about fiscal 2026 reporting will begin January 2026.

Agencies reporting expenditures that reduce greenhouse gas emissions must estimate the reduced emissions amount. Use one of the Ecology-approved methods or a method from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) webpage.
