California is extending its plan to drastically cut carbon emissions for
another 10 years under a pair of bills signed by Gov. Jerry Brown (D) on
Thursday, marking a major step forward in the fight against climate
change.
.
The new legislation will significantly ramp up the states existing efforts
to reduce emissions, including increasing the states reliance on solar
power, offering rebates for electric cars and placing stronger regulations
on businesses.
.
SB 32, authored by state Sen. Fran Pavley (D-Agoura Hills), extends a 2006
law that required the state to cut greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels
by 2020. (California is currently on track to meet that goal.) Under the
new legislation, California must reduce emissions to 40 percent below 1990
levels by 2030.
.
AB 197, written by Assemblymember Eduardo Garcia (D-Coachella),
establishes a new legislative committee to oversee environmental
regulation, giving lawmakers more say in efforts to improve air quality
and reduce pollution.
.
The new goals are the most ambitious of any U.S. state. And given the
sheer scale of it ? Californias economy is now the worlds sixth largest ?
the law could also serve as a model for international efforts to reduce
emissions.
.
Climate change is real, and knowing that, California is taking action,
Brown said in a statement Thursday. SB 32 and AB 197 are far-reaching
moves that continue California on its path of vast innovation and
environmental resilience.
.
The legislation also pledges to meet these goals in a manner that benefits
the states most disadvantaged communities, noting that climate change
disproportionately affects the urban poor, the elderly and rural
populations. The addition was a nod to criticism that rebates on
environmentally friendly products like solar panels mostly benefit
upper-middle-class and wealthy families.
.
In order for California to remain an economic and environmental leader,
the state will need to also be a trailblazer on issues related to equity,
Garcia said. Placing the health and economic [benefits] of climate policy
on vulnerable populations second will stunt the states prosperity.
.
The new targets will go into effect next year.
.
The legislation faced significant opposition from the California Chamber
of Commerce, oil companies and other pro-business and manufacturing
groups, which derided the law as harmful to job creation. Brown
acknowledged those challenges while signing the bill Thursday.
.
Theres powerful opposition, he said. These are real people with real bucks
and real influence.
.
Brown, who will leave office in 2019, has staked his legacy on
ameliorating global warming. In addition to SB 32, hes pushed for
increased use of alternative energy sources, advocated for action on
climate change during global forums like the U.N. climate summit in Paris
last year and pushed for an ambitious cap-and-trade program aimed at
reducing the use of fossil fuels.
