Governor Newsom Highlights Biden-Harris Climate Investments for California

Governor Gavin Newsom of California emphasized the significant climate investments that the Biden-Harris Administration has announced for the state. These investments are a result of President Biden’s signature pieces of legislation, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and the Clean Energy and Climate Action Fund, which together constitute the largest ever investment in clean energy and climate action. It is expected that the funding will continue to increase as the administration announces additional awards in the coming years.

The White House is proud to support California’s climate leadership through these investments, recognizing the state’s long-standing commitment to combating climate change and implementing sustainable practices. John Podesta, Senior Advisor to the President for International Climate Policy, commended California’s efforts in electrifying transportation, promoting renewable power, and building a clean and resilient future.

In the past month alone, California has received substantial funding through the Biden-Harris Administration’s climate investments. These investments build upon California’s own commitment to climate action, which includes an unprecedented $48 billion in state climate investments, rivaling the spending of many countries on climate initiatives.
