What is the TCMC?
The Thurston Climate Mitigation Collaborative (TCMC) is a group of local government partners working together to reduce regional greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global climate change. Thurston County and the cities of Lacey, Olympia, and Tumwater established the TCMC in 2023 as a collaborative framework to implement the Thurston Climate Mitigation Plan and achieve the following goals:
- Maintain momentum for local climate action
- Develop efficient regional solutions for reducing emissions in ways that support all partner jurisdictions
- Provide accountability on progress toward achieving regional climate targets
- Build public awareness of climate mitigation activities across the region
The TCMC provides a forum for the partners to learn, explore, coordinate, and communicate climate mitigation policies and practices. The TCMC works together on select regional initiatives while each city and the County continually advance multiple actions within their own jurisdictions.
