A coalition of a dozen Oregon business groups filed a legal challenge against the state’s aggressive climate plans, forcing a 90% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
The groups filed a petition for judicial review with the Oregon Court of Appeals on Sunday, asking the court to consider whether the state’s Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) overstepped its authority when it laid out the climate regulations, according to a copy of the filing. In December 2021, the agency unveiled its so-called Climate Protection Program (CPP) to “dramatically reduce greenhouse gas” over the next 30 years.
