CIPL is holding “virtual” legislative meetings with people of faith and conscience on June 21 & 22, and you are invited! We’ll be urging the passage of laws centered on climate justice and a swifter transition to clean energy. All voices are needed with a special call out to those in the Central Valley, Inland Empire, San Diego, or Orange County. Fill out this short info form to tell us you’re interested.
The most recent United Nations climate report described the current moment as “code red for humanity. “ It states that global carbon emissions must peak by 2025 and fall quickly by 2030, to avoid devastating climate impacts. California has been responding, and there are important bills pending before the legislature on EVs, plastic waste reduction, climate resiliency, extreme heat and more.
Our priority legislation: SB 54 (Allen) – reduction of single-use plastics; SB 1482 – installation of EV charging for every parking space at new multifamily dwellings; SB 1486 – closure of Aliso Canyon Storage facility by 2027; AB 30 – Access to Nature expanding outdoor educational opportunities for all; AB 2076 – establish the Extreme Heat and Community Resilience Program; and and AB 2649 – the Natural Carbon Sequestration and Resilience Act of 2022. But your support is needed to push these bills across the finish line!
