Today CARB welcomed @lsanchez020 as the new Chair! A CARB alumna, she most recently served as Senior Advisor for Climate in the Office of Gov Newsom. A seasoned climate policy expert, she brings experience at the intersection of environmental policy, diplomacy & state governance.
Last week CARB Chair @mslianeran joined #ClimateWeekNYC to showcase CA’s renewed climate leadership.
As federal leadership stalls, CA is charging ahead—reauthorizing #CapAndInvest, expanding the Western energy market & driving bold climate action.

TodayCARB blasted U.S. EPA’s illegal bid to overturn the 2009 Endangerment Finding—the cornerstone of federal climate responsibility.
EPA is ignoring 15+ years of its own science & putting millions of lives at risk. When EPA falters, CA stands tall for science & clean air.
NEW: @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom just signed an executive order doubling down on California’s clean vehicle transition.
“We won’t let this illegal action by Trump and Republicans in the pockets of polluters stand in the way of commonsense policy to clean our air.”
“The rules that these waivers allowed California to put into place have been successful. From the catalytic converter to the check engine light that lets you know your system is not working properly. Those regulations have brought significant benefits.”
- @AirResources Chair @MsLianeRan
CARB Chair @mslianeran kicked off #EarthWeek2025 with Viridi, celebrating their new energy storage facility. Backed by CARB’s CORE program, it’ll drive climate progress by replacing diesel generators with clean mobile power & expanding off-road ZEV ops where needed most.
CARB Chair @mslianeran emphasized California’s commitment to clean air & zero-emission transportation at @CALSTART’s summit this week: “We are absolutely not giving up. We are going to continue to push forward.”
The Mojave Micro Mill pioneers zero carbon emissions steel produced with state-of-the-art technologies—cutting emissions, creating jobs & strengthening our #CleanEnergy economy. This is a shining example of CA climate leadership & sustainable innovation.

Tonight: Join local, state and federal agencies at 6:00 p.m. for a webinar about air quality impacts in the wake of the #LAwildfires.
Experts will discuss recovery operations, air quality & monitoring, public health considerations, and resources.

The market data are clear: we are seeing a robust & sustained demand for #ZeroEmission transportation. CA is committed to continuing to reduce emissions to protect #PublicHealth & the climate.
Strong and consistent #ClimateAction and #CleanAir are essential for #PublicHealth, economic resilience, and a sustainable future for all. Now more than ever, we must work together across the public and private sectors to build a clean energy future. #BNEFsummit
California is all-hands-on-deck in responding to the #EatonFire and #PalisadesFire. @AirResources is working closely across state government and with regional and federal partners on response and recovery, including by supporting @SouthCoastAQMD on air monitoring.
Here at #ClimateWeekNYC, we’re building partnerships across sectors and borders and advancing climate strategies ranging from #ZeroEmission transportation to nature-based solutions because #ItsTime!
@AirResources
It was a pleasure to speak alongside @CharetteB at #ClimateWeekNYC as we celebrate 10 years of partnership with Quebec. Our linked carbon markets are driving down emissions while supporting decarbonization & climate resiliency.
At #ClimateWeekNYC I shared California’s work to reduce climate pollution from HFC refrigerants through @AirResources' Refrigerant Recovery, Reclaim & Reuse Requirements or ‘R4’ program.
We're kicking off the 2024 #ClimateWeekNYC with my California colleagues, showcasing CA policies that are driving the transition to a sustainable future.
Last week, we sat down with @mslianeran, Chair of @AirResources, to talk all things transport decarbonisation ahead of this week's #ClimateWeekNYC.

While in Oslo we met with State Secretary for Climate & Environment Sigrun Gjerløw Aasland and learned about Norway’s ZEV strategy. Always valuable to share lessons learned with international partners as we work towards a clean transportation future. #ZE2028ROADMAP
Shifting journeys from cars to transit, walking, & biking is key to a clean transportation future, alongside ZEV deployment. Great to see London & Oslo’s progress electrifying their bus fleets during our @laincubator study tour. #ZE2028ROADMAP
