Gavin Newsom signed some climate laws — and vetoed others
California continues to make waves on climate. In some cases literally. Over the weekend, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed dozens of bills dealing with renewable energy, landscape conservation and water use — and vetoed many others. Here’s a roundup … In a major win for conservationists, Newsom signed Senate Bill 337 from Sen. Dave Min (D-Irvine). The bill commits to state law the goal of protecting 30% of California’s lands and waters by 2030 — the “30 by 30” target endorsed by scientists and biodiversity advocates around the world, who say it’s key not only to protecting animals but to ensuring a livable world for humans. Newsom and President Biden have both embraced 30 by 30. But now it’s the law in the nation’s most populous state.
