The mandate and the timeline are clear as day. We have a global climate emergency, and the only solution to the greatest existential crisis ever faced by our human family is to go carbon neutral — right now, while we can still give future generations a fighting chance. Everyone must play a part — governments, industry, organizations, and individuals. We must think beyond ourselves and beyond tomorrow. Step one is fulfilling California’s promise as a climate leader. That’s why we need your help in inspiring governor Gavin Newsom and all our state’s elected leaders to unify behind an official climate emergency declaration.
2020 showed us what it looks like when we’re unprepared for an emergency situation. It demonstrated the need for a clarity of purpose, a spirit of cooperation, and plans to address the worst case scenarios. In 2021, we have an unprecedented opportunity to organize for a carbon-neutral California. Now is the time to curb our statewide dependence on fossil fuels, transition our workforce into the new, green economy, and set a high bar that demonstrates true commitment to climate action. Declaring a climate emergency is just the beginning. You can help us ensure our leaders take the right steps, in the right order. Join the movement at greencal.org.
