California’s Climate Leadership: A TimelineCalifornia embraced climate action 2002 and has never looked back since. The Golden State has adopted a slew of climate change laws over the past twenty years, and an even greater number of regulations . Required state to reduce emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and gave broad authority to CARB to implement the standard. Required companies to report financial risks relating to climate change and how they are being managed. There are many things wrong with California, but the state’s deep commitment to fighting climate change is beyond question.
