This session is presented in partnership with the Center for Biological Diversity. Experts will discuss the Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Act — introduced as SB 684 (Menjivar) in the Senate and AB 1243 (Addis) in the Assembly.
In this session, we will examine the Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Act — introduced as SB 684 (Menjivar) in the Senate and AB 1243 (Addis) in the Assembly — which would ensure that polluters pay their fair share for climate damages. The Los Angeles fires alone cost an estimated $250 billion. Californians are already dealing with sky-high insurance rates, utility bills, and housing costs exacerbated by the climate crisis. A climate superfund would help pay for recovery from climate disasters and investments in climate solutions from clean energy to climate-friendly agriculture.
