California Global Warming Solutions Act

The California Global Warming Solutions Act, or AB 32, is a law enacted in 2006 aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. It mandates California to cut these emissions to 1990 levels by 2020, primarily through promoting cleaner energy, increasing energy efficiency, and encouraging sustainable practices. The law sets a framework for businesses and government to work together to lower pollution, drive innovation in green technology, and protect the environment. Its goal is to combat climate change while supporting economic growth and public health within California.
