In 2023, Governor Newsom signed landmark climate laws to set stricter standards for corporate polluters. SB 253 and SB 261 are two first-in-the-nation laws that require major corporations doing business in California to report the full scope of their climate pollution and their climate-related financial risk. Huge corporations mounted fierce opposition to these laws before they were passed, but thousands of California climate activists worked tirelessly to get them signed by the governor.
Thanks to your action, the governor also resisted pressure from corporate polluters to soften the emissions reporting standards in SB 253 and delay the implementation of these laws. Thank you to everyone who stood up to hold corporations accountable for their climate pollution!
