Climate progress in the California legislature in 2024 was nowhere near what is needed to address the accelerating climate crisis.

While our leaders must do more to rein in climate pollution and challenge Big Oil's political influence, there are signs of hope to build on. This year, climate champions introduced bills to defend and grow California's clean energy economy as well as make polluters pay for the costs of addressing the climate crisis. SB 59 (Skinner) aims to transform California's more than 1 million electric vehicles into a source of affordable, reliable, resilient, and clean backup power. SB 1374 (Becker), which was vetoed, would have supported schools' and apartment dwellers' use of solar power. And AB 1866 (Hart) was designed to require oil companies to accelerate the plugging and clean-up of their idle wells.

In this webinar, we will discuss the key climate and energy legislation that passed, bills that were watered down or failed, and strategies to increase climate ambition in California.
