Climate 100 Issue Brief Update: The 2022 May Budget Revision
This Fact Sheet summarizes the proposed Climate Budget in the May Revision and assesses the proposal’s progress towards the challenge we put forward in our Issue Brief “From Luxury to Necessity: Budgeting for Climate Action.” In that document, we called on our elected leaders to integrate the state’s climate targets into the whole of how our state operates and plans, rather than treating it as a niche spending category, to be pursued only after all other spending priorities have been fulfilled. California needs a 100% climate aligned budget, below we evaluate the May Revision’s progress towards this goal.
