So trust me when I say, California’s elected leaders have a huge opportunity to stave off the worst impacts of climate change by enacting the governor’s current Climate Budget. Our state has neglected to take the necessary, comprehensive actions we need to tackle the climate crisis. The Climate 100 goal is this: Put 100 percent of our taxpayer dollars to work in a manner that is consistent with our state’s climate goals and what science tells us is necessary. We’re asking our state’s leaders to make sure that each budget investment we make aligns with our climate values as a state. Every aspect of state government spending could help protect our people, our natural resources, and our economy from the worst impacts of the climate crisis.
