Global warming is an emergency with the highest possible stakes: the future of life on Earth. There are dozens of scalable solutions available now to reverse the climate crisis. The time is right for more aggressive climate action in California, serving as an example to inspire and move the world.

In August 2021, a policy summit brought together scientists and policy makers to examine opportunities for climate action in the face of impacts like drought and extreme heat. The Summit covered proposed legislation in the areas of sustainable transportation, community energy resilience, nature-based carbon sequestration, and more.
