Assessing California’s Climate Policies—Transportation

Dec 21, 2018 - Chapter 135 of 2017 (AB 398, E. Garcia) requires our office to annually report on the economic impacts and benefits of California’s statutory greenhouse gas (GHG) emission goals—statewide emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030.

The 2015-16 Budget: Effectively Implementing The 2014 Water Bond

For example, Chapter 488, Statutes of 2006 (AB 32, N ú ñez/Pavley), requires a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Because California ’s water delivery and treatment systems are highly energy intensive, increasing water use efficiency can reduce energy use and associated GHG emissions.

The 2026-27 Budget: Proposed Elimination of State Environmental Positions

Feb 17, 2026 - For environmental positions, this amounts to annual savings of about $71  million (about $32  million General Fund). (For context, the budget assumes total savings of $487  million —$191  million to the General Fund —in 2026-27 and ongoing from the 6,002 positions.)
