OLYMPIA — Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee plans to travel to Paris later this year to attend a United Nations summit on climate change.
The Seattle Times reported Tuesday that details about the trip, including whether a private foundation could fund all or part of the travel costs, are still being worked out.
The summit runs from Nov. 30 to Dec. 11. It’s aimed at securing an international accord to keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius.
Inslee has made fighting climate change and promotion of clean energy a priority of his administration, and Inslee spokeswoman Jaime Smith said the governor views the event as an opportunity to take part in discussions on how to prevent a climate catastrophe.
