We also got to speak with Oregon’s official State Climatologist, Larry O’Neill. We had such a great conversation and he shared really interesting insights into Oregon’s climate, how it’s changing, and even how we measure these changes and how that data can be used to inform policies. So, we thought we’d share this extended interview with Larry O'Neill in this special bonus episode. Hope you enjoy! blogs.oregonstate.edu/orcs/oregon-cl…vice/our-team/

On this timely Grounded episode, we’re joined by the Oregon Global Warming Commission’s Chair, Cathy Macdonald, and ODOE’s Senior Climate Policy Analyst, Zach Baker.
We dive into three important reports the Commission published earlier this year: an Oregon Climate Action Roadmap to 2030, a companion TIGHGER Project Report, and the Commission’s usual biennial 2023 Report to the Legislature.
The Commission typically issues a report to the Legislature every two years that includes an update on progress toward achieving Oregon’s greenhouse gas reduction goals and recommendations for making progress. This year, the Commission also provided a new Oregon Climate Action Roadmap to 2030. The Roadmap includes extensive recommendations to inform state climate action, which were developed using an analysis of data and pathways as part of the Transformational Integrated Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Project (AKA TIGHGER).
Based on the best available science, the reports considered what it would take to accelerate achievement of Oregon’s existing 2035 goal to instead reach it by 2030. This is a fascinating conversation with two of Oregon’s hardest working climate specialists — let’s listen!
