California Governor Newsom to Attend United Nations Climate Change Conference to Call on Global Community to End Reliance on Oil
Published: Oct 25, 2021GLASGOW – Governor Gavin Newsom today announced that he will join global leaders at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow, Scotland next week to highlight California’s groundbreaking policies to combat the intensifying climate crisis and rally the global community to end their reliance on oil. Governor Newsom will be joined by First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom, senior Administration officials and state legislators.
While some leaders are still debating the urgency of climate action, California has become a working model for how to aggressively fight the climate crisis while bolstering the clean economy. Though California has made remarkable progress, the Governor will make the case that the state needs national and international partners to join us in committing to safeguard our future. California will bring renewable and zero-emission solutions to the global stage as climate-change fueling fossil fuels still power over 80 percent of the global energy system.
California is on the front lines of climate impacts, including devastating wildfires, record-breaking heat and mega droughts. For communities across the world, the costs of climate change are too great not to act. Extreme weather events cost U.S. taxpayers $99 billion in 2020 alone. California is confronting this existential crisis head-on with action that is unprecedented in both nature and scale. . . .
