Governor Gavin Newsom gave a list of urgent climate actions to lawmakers with just a few weeks left of the legislative session. They are actions lawmakers have been trying to push for years. Items in Newsom’s climate list he wants lawmakers to “urgently” prioritize include achieving carbon neutrality by 2045, protecting communities from the harmful impacts of the oil industry, and making sure there is a pathway towards the state’s clean energy future.
