California’s determination to act only grows as climate effects hit home. Our commitment to innovative climate solutions deepens even as US President Donald Trump’s administration attempts to demolish climate protections. Of course, as with all disruptions, the state’s low-income and disadvantaged communities will disproportionally feel the impacts of climate change.

And longer commutes mean that California’s transportation emissions — which already account for 51 percent of the state’s total emissions — are on the rise.
