King County exec's new climate plan proposes building code updates
King County Executive Dow Constantine's plan for the 2020 Strategic Climate Action Plan aims to cut greenhouse gas emissions countywide in half by the end of the decade.
The plan, which was unveiled Thursday, is an update of the 2015 plan and will have more focus on climate justice and preparing for climate impacts.
The earlier plan focused on making the county's own operations more energy efficient. The new one recommends actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions at a countywide scale.
The plan was sent to the County Council. While she said she was pleased to have received it, Council Chair Claudia Balducci is reserving judgment.
