Rev. 2390196-2043https://hdl.handle.net/1794/2947930 pagesOregon created some of the most ambitious carbon-neutral goals of any state in the country. However, Oregon failed to achieve meaningful results in curbing greenhouse gas emissions. This Comment’s thesis states that Oregon’s policies on climate change will continue to have two effects.
