SR 36 California Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relative to the Paris Accords.

Senate Resolution 36 is a symbolic resolution affirming California's commitment to the Paris Agreement on climate change. It does not create new laws or funding but formally expresses the state's dedication to achieving net-zero carbon emissions and upholding the Paris Accords' goals. The resolution highlights California's existing climate policies, including emission reduction targets (50-52% below 2005 levels by 2030) and clean energy initiatives, and directs the resolution to be sent to state and federal climate officials. It has no direct impact on residents or businesses, as it serves only to reaffirm existing policy priorities.
