OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Officials from Washington and British Columbia have agreed to work together to prepare for and try to limit climate change.
Under agreements signed Wednesday, the state and province will promote public awareness of higher sea levels and the effect on coastal areas, and to limit carbon emissions by the two governments.
Washington Ecology Director Ted Sturdevant says that besides rising sea levels, the two governments share many climate-related problems such as lower stream flows and diseased forests.
