California has led on climate & environmental policy & implementation for decades - demonstrating that it is possible to deliver a clean environment while also growing the state's economy. Today, several factors threaten this leadership. Actions at the federal level, including withdrawal of California's waivers, repeal of EPA's Endangerment Finding, & outright hostility toward renewable energy generation directly targeting California's authority.
Increased concerns about the state's cost of energy, housing & transportation affordability, & quality of life may threaten the potential for additional actions necessary to meet California's climate targets. Together, these pressures threaten to erode California's leadership at a critical moment, which could have cascading effects in other states and, even internationally.
California's next governor will come into office at a pivotal moment to continue the state's momentum on climate change, while also tackling economic mobility, affordability, housing production, & a combative federal administration. Join us to hear three leading voices in the state share their priorities for the next governor.
This program is co-hosted by CA FWD, California Environmental Voters, & the Center for Law, Energy, & the Environment.
