Mary Nichols, a climate champion, spent 45 years as an environmental regulator, called "Trump's nemesis" and "most influential." As Chair of the California Air Resources Board, she advanced climate action, limited emissions, and engaged automakers. Praised for cutting greenhouse gases, she also faced criticism for polluter leniency and insufficient action for disadvantaged communities.

Join Mary Nichols and Climate One's Greg Dalton to discuss her storied career and California's climate leadership, from Governors Schwarzenegger to Newsom. We'll explore the future of state and national climate agendas in 2021. This program is generously underwritten by the ClimateWorks Foundation.

Climate experts emphasize the urgent need to act on global warming, noting only 13-20 years remain before critical thresholds are reached. Immediate focus must be on carbon removal and implementing "zero" solutions across key sectors: zero-emission electric grids, transportation, buildings, and waste manufacturing. This collective effort is essential to turn the tide.

Addressing climate change demands substantial funding, yet philanthropic strategies face scrutiny. Critics argue major organizations often underfund grassroots initiatives, movement building, and vulnerable communities most impacted by climate change. True progress, as emphasized by Farhad Ebrahimi, requires broad community engagement. Learn more at climateone.org.
