CALIFORNIA GOV. GAVIN NEWSOM SAYS HE WILL SIGN CLIMATE-FOCUSED TRANSPARENCY LAWS FOR BIG BUSINESS

Newsom's announcement came during an out-of-state trip to New York's Climate Week, where world leaders in business, politics and the arts are gathered to seek solutions for climate change.

California lawmakers last week passed legislation requiring large businesses from oil and gas companies to retail giants to disclose their direct greenhouse gas emissions as well as those that come from activities like employee business travel.

Such disclosures are a “simple but intensely powerful driver of decarbonization,” said the bill’s author, state Sen. Scott Wiener, a Democrat.

“This legislation will support those companies doing their part to tackle the climate crisis and create accountability for those that aren’t,” Wiener said in a statement applauding Newsom’s decision.
