Sacramento has become an integral part of positive environmental endeavors within California. According to a recent Forbes article:
“While businesses have a crucial role to play, leadership in the halls of our state government remains essential. When Sacramento sets firm targets for emissions, clean energy, and efficiency standards, it gives businesses the market certainty they need to invest confidently in climate solutions.”
An Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Report has determined that there is only one way to eliminate the worst impacts of climate change. That is to substantially decrease greenhouse gas emissions so that global warming is held at 1.5° C.
As such, climate leadership in California is more crucial than ever which was why a bill was recently passed there (nowhere else has this been done throughout the nation) that commits the region to “emissions-free electricity by 2045.” Other states will be observing the progress of this.
