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 billion to date.
The CCA requires Ecology to write an annual report that describes how dollars appropriated from CCA accounts are spent. Guidance for agency reporting can be found below.
Fiscal Year 2025
The reporting deadline for the Fiscal Year 2025 report is Sept. 9, 2025. We’ll soon share the reporting spreadsheet for fiscal year 2025. Please submit the completed spreadsheet to CCAFundsReporting@ecy.wa.gov.
For the fiscal 2025 report, Ecology expects to have modified and approved some methodologies and calculator tools for use by agencies in calculating the projected emissions reductions from expenditures. Once approved, methodologies and calculator tools will be shared on this webpage.
Agencies that believe their expenditures will result in quantifiable emissions reductions that are unable to locate an approved methodology should contact Olivia McGoldrick. Other questions about calculating emissions reductions should also be sent to Olivia.
For questions about reporting on financial data or environmental justice data, please email CCAFundsReporting@ecy.wa.gov.
For questions about reporting on Tribal resolutions, contact Tamara Jones.
