Global Climate Action Summit
September 12-14, Stepping It Up
At the international climate summit with Gov. Jerry Brown in San Francisco, the state is playing a role none ever has, pushing the rest of the country to join other nations in enforcing a landmark agreement on climate change that President Trump has quit.
Put simply, the three-day environmental summit will test whether California can bring the country to a place Congress and the White House won’t.
“This is a very odd challenge we have,” Brown said in an LA Times interview in his office. “It is coming at us from all over the planet. Everyone is contributing and everyone has got to do something to combat it. It is a totally unique world challenge, never before faced. There is nothing like this.”
