Thank you to everyone who joined Governor @Schwarzenegger to celebrate 20 years of AB 32! This law proves that we can have a clean environment that supports a strong economy.

"AB 32 made plain that global warming and the climate and any pollution affecting them, shall not be above the law of the State of California." - @joemmathews at our AB 32 celebration.

"The 3.9% cut in 2024 was an improvement from 3% in 2023, “so we are moving in the right direction,” said Next 10’s founder, F. Noel Perry. 2024 represented the largest annual reduction, outside of pandemic & recession years of 2020 and 2008."

LA Times: Schwarzenegger, Newsom Mark 20 Years of Climate Law

Former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, celebrated the 20-year anniversary of landmark climate legislation he signed while in office alongside Democrats including Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday

Schwarzenegger: “California is the perfect example of what can be done when people work together and when we don’t look at this as a Republican or as a Democratic issue.”

Naysayers will tell you a clean environment and a strong economy can’t exist together. Apparently, they’ve never heard of California ⬇️

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

• $16 Billion in utility bill relief.
• $886 Million in electricity bill credits this year alone.
• $37 Billion reinvested in CA communities.
• 23,000 megawatts of battery storage strengthening the grid.

The Golden State is showing it’s possible to protect the environment AND making life more affordable.

[USC Schwarzenegger Institute @GovArnoldUSC]

There is no Republican air or Democratic air. California belongs to the people and that is why each governor has a responsibility to build on the work of previous governors. AB 32 is an example of how progress can endure over terms, decades, and opponents.

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

Governor @Schwarzenegger: “California is shining worldwide… the perfect example of what can be done when people work together”

Not Democrats versus Republicans. Californians working together.

LIVE NOW: I'm about to take the stage with Former Governor @Schwarzenegger to talk about how California is both growing its economy and cutting pollution. https://t.co/njhUt0799t

Real solutions come from working together. A true bipartisan effort made AB 32 possible.

I had a simple test for hiring in the Governor’s Office: do you want to serve the public? I didn’t care what party you came from, and I didn’t care what my party said about you. That’s how it should be. Public servants, not party servants.

@govarnoldusc had a fantastic event yesterday about the 20th anniversary of AB 32, California’s historic law I signed to terminate pollution and prove you can protect the environment and pump up the economy. Since 2000, California’s emissions are down 21%, while our economy is up 81%.

We served the public. Not the party.

We can’t wait to see what leaders like @climatereserve do with the next 20 years!

[Climate Action Reserve @climatereserve]

We were honored to join Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, CARB Chair Lauren Sanchez, and other California leaders in celebrating the 20th anniversary of AB 32, California’s Global Warming Solutions Act. Thank you to the USC Schwarzenegger Institute!

[Bay Area Council @BayAreaCouncil]

Proud to be the first business group to endorse #AB32 and join then-Gov. @Schwarzenegger to sign this transformative legislation

[USC Schwarzenegger Institute @GovArnoldUSC]

Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate the 20th anniversary of AB 32! This dream team, along with many others, created a new standard for taking control of fuel emissions. A bill that began in CA now is a law that influences the world.

[USC Schwarzenegger Institute @GovArnoldUSC]

To do anything as big as #AB32, you have to do it together. It was an honor to have all of the business leaders, elected officials, staff members, and change-makers behind this incredible law all in the same room.

📉 CA cut climate emissions again in 2024 — statewide emissions fell another 3.9% in 2024 extending a 20-year downward trend even as the economy continues to expand. Two decades after AB 32, California’s climate progress continues delivering real progress https://t.co/iHvaXkIech
