Four staff members from the California Air Resources Board stand behind a promotional table at an indoor event, likely the World Ag Expo. The table is draped in a white cloth featuring the large "California Air Resources Board" logo. On the table are various informational brochures and flyers. The background features black curtains and neighboring exhibitor banners for "Diesel Engine Parts" and "Superior Gearbox Company."

What an incredible week at the 2026 World Ag Expo! 🚜🌾

Our team was on the ground in Tulare last week connecting with growers and leaders on the future of CA agriculture. We’re committed to climate-smart ag and a more resilient CA for all.

Donald Trump declares the Republican Party the pro-pollution party | Governor of California

This proposal isn’t just bad policy — it’s a reckless disregard of basic science and the health of every American. When an administration sides with polluters over people, it doesn’t just abandon commonsense climate action; it abandons our country’s future.

In Part 6 of our series from @bloomberg.com NEF SF, @carb-chair.bsky.social
Lauren Sanchez explains how CA supports access to ZEVs:

✅ Clean Cars 4 All: $40M funded to provide up to $12K for low-income drivers
✅ Expanding new incentive funding to used cars

CARB’s Adam Moreno breaks down our state-of-the-art carbon Inventory—a comprehensive look at how our forests and farms help fight climate change.

To reach 2045 carbon neutrality goals, we must scale:

🔥 Prescribed fire
🚜 Smart agriculture
🌱 Ecosystem restoration

A graphic from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) titled "Growth in Trees and Shrubs Outweigh Emissions from Wildfire." The graphic is split into two sections comparing average annual carbon rates from 2001–2022 in million metric tons of $CO_{2}e$. On the left, a brown-toned "Loss" side shows a bar at -24 for wildfire emissions. On the right, a teal-toned "Growth" side shows a significantly longer bar at 43 for ecosystem growth. The visual illustrates that natural growth absorbed nearly twice the amount of carbon lost to wildfires during this period.

Join CARB for the Drive Forward Tribal Listening Session on February 17, to help shape future transportation incentives.

In Part 5 of our series from @bloomberg.com NEF SF, @carb-chair.bsky.social Lauren Sanchez dives into the infrastructure powering CA’s ZEV transition.
CA now has 200K+ public EV chargers—funded in part by #CapAndInvest. We're putting those dollars to work for a reliable, accessible network for all.

Infographic by CARB titled "Growth in Trees and Shrubs Outweigh Emissions from Wildfire." A split-screen visual compares annual carbon rates from 2001–2022: a brown "Loss" side shows -24 million metric tons from wildfires, while a teal "Growth" side shows 43 million metric tons from ecosystem growth. The data reveals that growth absorbed nearly double the carbon lost to fire.

Nature is CA's ally for carbon neutrality.

A new CARB inventory reveals our natural & working lands absorbed nearly twice the carbon lost to wildfires— demonstrating the important role of nature in the state’s fight against climate change 🌲📈

In part 3 of our series from @bloomberg.com NEF SF, @carb-chair.bsky.social Lauren Sanchez describes how CARB is updating the #CapAndInvest program “balancing ambition with affordability”

A side-profile view inside a laboratory where three young girls are gathered around a computer monitor displaying scientific data graphs. A male scientist in a white lab coat and a black baseball cap stands nearby, gesturing toward the screen and explaining the data to them. In the background, laboratory equipment and a scientific poster about particulate matter are visible.

A presenter stands under a white pop-up tent next to a John Deere utility vehicle equipped with scientific sensors and a large monitor. Several pieces of industrial machinery and engines are cordoned off with yellow safety barriers for the students to observe.

Local students visited our Riverside Laboratory to get a close look at the chemistry and science behind CARB’s emissions standards, gaining a deeper understanding of climate and health impacts of air pollution.

In part 2 of our series from @bloomberg.com NEF SF, @carb-chair.bsky.social Lauren Sanchez explains why #CapAndInvest is the heart of CA’s strategy.

With $34B raised to date, we're turning carbon pricing into: 🚌electric school buses, 🔥wildfire resilience & 500K+ local projects.
