Senate Bill 32, signed in 2016, requires the state to go even further than AB 32 and cut greenhouse gas emissions 40% below 1990 levels by 2030—the most ambitious carbon goal in North America. The carbon intensity of California’s economy has dropped 38% since the 2001 peak and is now one-half the national average.
