Friends -
Cleaning the air we breathe.
Protecting our communities from the harmful impacts of the oil industry.
Accelerating California’s clean energy future.
Each of these actions on their own are monumental steps to tackling the climate crisis.
We’ve presented a plan to the legislature that will take ALL of these major actions in the most aggressive push on climate our state has ever seen.
Because later is too late.
Here’s what I want to work with the legislature to accomplish:
- Codifying a statewide goal of achieving statewide carbon neutrality as soon as possible, and no later than 2045.
- Adopting an aggressive 2030 greenhouse gas emissions reduction target — going from 40% to 55% below the 1990 level.
- Setting an ambitious pathway towards 90% clean energy by 2035 and 95% by 2040.
- Protecting communities from harmful neighborhood oil production.
- Advancing natural and engineered technologies to remove carbon pollution.
As long as I have anything to say about it, California will continue blazing a trail for America and the rest of the world on the swift and meaningful actions necessary for cutting carbon pollution, protecting communities, and leading the clean energy future.
Thanks,
Gavin
Gavin Newsom is up for re-election this November and we have some important budget decisions to make in the next few days. Please make a contribution today to help us fill some budget shortfalls before it’s too late. Together, we’ll keep California blue in 2022.
