An important 🧵on what @KingCountyWA is doing to address #climatechange and reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions. The latest UN #Climate report shows more MUST be done at all levels of government, by businesses, and by each one of us. https://t.co/8OnRefI8RG

[King County Natural Resources and Parks @KCDNRP]

The new UN climate report is a clear call for more ambitious #ClimateAction to prevent the worst effects of #ClimateChange. @KingCountyWA is leading the nation with solutions & has a strong foundation to rapidly cut greenhouse gas emissions. Together, we must do more.🧵 (1/10)
