Governator’s Climate Summit
California signed a declaration Wednesday with 11 other U.S. states and provinces or states in five other countries to help slash greenhouse gas emissions. There were 700 delegates from 19 countries at his “province by province” worldwide initiative. The signers included 12 U.S. governors and state or provincial representatives from Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Indonesia and India.
California has developed more technical expertise in controlling planet-heating emissions than any U.S. state in the two years since it passed a law requiring its emissions to fall by about 15% in the next 12 years. Although US federal government is slow to adopt economy-wide climate legislation, California is charging ahead with renewable energy standards, automobile tailpipe regulations, efficiency incentives and forest carbon protocols.
