“Today, California took an important step forward for the climate: it adopted a new roadmap for the state to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045. While much work is still needed to ensure that greenhouse gas emissions are reduced as quickly as possible, the adoption of this roadmap is a globally defining action—many nations have yet to commit to such a climate goal—and demonstrates California’s bold leadership in addressing climate change.”
“With careful stewardship and restoration efforts, California’s lands can play a vital role in helping the state to achieve carbon neutrality, while also continuing to provide a multitude of other additional benefits, such as cleaner air and water, for all Californians.
“The inclusion of California’s Natural and Working Lands in this Scoping Plan reflects a new and needed level of climate ambition that recognizes the significant role that nature can play in protecting people and our planet,” said Sydney Chamberlin, Climate and Nature-Based Solutions Project Manager, The Nature Conservancy California.
