News Release from Governor Newsom’s office<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you need to know<\/strong>: A new report shows California greenhouse gas emissions declined across most sectors in 2022 \u2013 and declined a whopping 20% since 2000. The decrease in emissions took place even as the state\u2019s economic dominance continued.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SACRAMENTO \u2013 Greenhouse gas emissions in California dropped yet again in 2022, continuing a big drop that has now totaled 20% since 2000. This is the lowest level of greenhouse gas emissions in recent history, aside from the pandemic-caused dip in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A report released today<\/a> for 2022 greenhouse gas emissions shows a 2.4% drop from 2021 to 2022 that is the equivalent of removing more than 2.2 million gasoline-powered cars off California\u2019s roads for one year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCalifornia is proving that climate action goes hand-in-hand with economic growth. We\u2019ve slashed carbon pollution by a whopping 20% since the turn of the century all while building the world\u2019s fifth largest economy. Cleaner air, more good jobs \u2013 that\u2019s the California way.\u201d — Governor Gavin Newsom<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The biggest drop came from transportation, due largely to the increased use of renewable fuels in addition to the growing strength<\/a> of the zero-emission vehicle market. The electricity sector had its lowest carbon intensity since 2000. Five out of seven sectors tracked had drops which reduced total emissions by 9.3 million metric tons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe numbers are clear: our world-leading regulations are reducing emissions, spurring innovation, and bringing us closer to achieving our climate goals,\u201d said California Air Resources Board Chair Liane <\/strong>Randolph.<\/strong> \u201cA future with clean air and a vibrant economy is possible and California is leading the way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest data underscores a continued trend of steady emissions decline even as the economy continues to grow. Between 2000 to 2022, emissions fell by 20% while California\u2019s gross domestic product increased by 78%, pointing to the effectiveness of the state\u2019s climate action. California has decreased the carbon intensity of its economy by 55% in the last 20 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
