AB 2329: The green team

The Senate axed the formalization of an inter-agency effort to achieve greenhouse gas emissions reductions and combat potentially disastrous climate change impacts to California's water supply, public health, agriculture, coast and ocean, forestry, infrastructure, and other sectors. By doing so, it put at risk the timely and cost-effective implementation of our state's climate change laws. AB 2329 (Chesbro & Ruskin) would have established new authorities and administrative structures to hold adaptation funding in trust and to codify in statute key elements of the California Climate Action Strategy.
