⚡️🚗 California is full speed ahead!
We’re cutting harmful vehicle pollution, delivering cleaner air, building momentum — & the early success of MyFirstEV is supercharging that progress.
American automakers like @Ford are choosing California's top talent and workforce to develop the next generation of zero-emission vehicles.
And with nearly 12,000 Californians already claiming our new instant rebate to switch to electric vehicles, it's a win-win for the Golden State.
One year in, and I'm deeply grateful for this work 💙
To our dedicated Board, exceptional staff, and committed partners: thank you for showing up every day to build a future where every Californian can breathe clean air.
🎊 🚀 Mission accomplished, congratulations @carbonmapper!
The California Satellite Methane Project has already helped us stop 18 major leaks & the newly launched Tanager-2 will help us find and fix even more - using its data to tackle the most potent climate pollutant.

Climate pollution knows no borders. By joining forces with Quebec and exploring linking our carbon market with Washington’s, we are setting the stage to strengthen pollution reduction and create an even stronger market.

It’s a deep point of pride that California is moving forward with the process of linking its Cap-and-Invest program to Washington’s carbon market, building on our existing partnership with Québec to cut emissions and toxic global pollution.
This means more reliable pollution reductions and local investments, no matter what happens in DC.

Day 2 of #ClimateWeekNYC brought another clear message from California: even as the federal government pulls back, we're continuing to move forward.
Secretary Wade Crowfoot is in New York with other state leaders sharing how California is advancing clean energy, climate resilience and conservation - with a focus on what that work means for people and communities.
The work continues because the impacts are real, the need is urgent and Californians are counting on us to keep delivering.

We are heating up and choking up.
The wets are getting wetter. The dries are getting drier.
And the federal government is doubling down on stupid. To get theirs and sell out the American people. Our children.
That’s the moment we are living in.
This moment requires moral authority.

Local climate action drives global progress.
Proud to meet with leaders like @UNFCCC Executive Secretary @SimonStiell at #ClimateWeekNYC to discuss #COP31 and the importance of having leaders from the U.S. in the fight against the climate crisis.

California is showing economic growth and decreasing carbon emissions can go hand-in-hand!
The 4th largest economy in the world running 9 out of 10 days on 100% clean energy — two thirds of our energy is clean energy!

ALREADY DELIVERING RESULTS
To date, Cap-and-Invest has:
👷♂️ Supported 143,000 jobs
🚄 Funded 600,000 projects statewide
💵 Delivered $16 billion in utility bill credits directly to Californians
💨 Cut millions of tons of carbon pollution
📈 Generated $37 billion dollars for climate investments
🌳 Helped California meet its first major statewide goal to reduce climate pollution, six years ahead of schedule
When the federal government stalls, states step up 💪
THIS is what climate leadership looks like — states and regions proving that bold action and affordability aren’t a trade-off, they’re a partnership.
JUST IN: At Climate Week NYC, @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom announced California is moving to link its carbon market with Washington — building on CA's partnership with Québec.
As Trump doubles down on STUPID, states are CUTTING POLLUTION and CREATING JOBS!
Big news from #ClimateWeekNYC!
By welcoming Washington State into our carbon market, we’re cutting costs for families while CA keeps slashing emissions. Together, we’re building the clean economy the world needs.

Twenty years ago, we bet that tackling climate change would make California stronger. The results speak for themselves — emissions falling, our economy growing, and our air getting cleaner!
📉 CA cut climate emissions again in 2024 — statewide emissions fell another 3.9% in 2024 extending a 20-year downward trend even as the economy continues to expand. Two decades after AB 32, California’s climate progress continues delivering real progress buff.ly/zLXsrJY
ALT Graphic of a line graph with the header “California’s climate progress continues: Emissions down, economy up. The y axis of the line graph shows changes in percentage since the year 2000, starting from -60% at the bottom, 0% a third of the way up, and 100% at the top. The x axis is the passage of time starting from the year 2000 on the left, ending at 2024 on the right. Three lines emerge from the starting point at 0%. The dark grey line shows a sharp increase of “Gross state product (GSP)”, ending just above 80% on the y axis. The light blue line shows a steady decease of “GHG emissions”, ending just below -20% on the y axis. The turquoise line shows a sharp decrease of “GHG emissions per GSP”, ending just above -60% on the y axis.
🎉 A huge win for California!
This decision is an important recognition of the rule of law and our longstanding authority to protect public health 💪

Incredibly honored and full of gratitude to receive the Senate’s unanimous approval last night. It’s a privilege to serve as CARB Chair and I’m determined to continue to do it with integrity, humility and a commitment to protecting the public health of all Californians. Onwards!
“Every regulation, every incentive, every program is ultimately about the air that my son & every child in CA will breathe as they grow up.”
At her confirmation hearing, Chair @lsanchez020 shared the personal commitment behind her work & why CA must keep fighting for cleaner air.
Proud to help launch #MyFirstEV! ⚡🚗
In just 25 days, @AirResources brought a bold vision to life with a first-in-the-nation program delivering $270M in savings to help Californians go electric.
Cleaner air for our kids. Lower costs for families. A cleaner future for CA.
California is once again leading with bold, decisive action and expanding access to the benefits of zero-emission vehicles with the launch of the MyFirstEV program.
📣Today, Chair @lsanchez020 joined @cagovernor to announce new savings for Californians buying their first zero-emission vehicle!
Through #MyFirstEV, buyers can get $1,750–$3,500 off a new or used ZEV.
