Slowing renewable energy growth, underwhelming transportation sector gains and an overdependence on natural gas mean California is not making sufficient progress toward clean energy goals, said the 13th annual California Green Innovation Index that Beacon Economics prepared and nonpartisan nonpro

California’s decarbonization target is being jeopardized by increasing use of natural gas for generating electricity and heating in buildings, according to a report by the nonprofit Next 10.

California made progress toward the state’s aggressive climate goals, but that progress is not happening fast enough. The latest Green Innovation Index tracks how California’s green economy is achieving its goals, such as the state’s bid to have a net-zero carbon economy by 2045.

California is not cutting greenhouse gas emissions fast enough to meet a 2030 deadline for reductions, according to a new report.

At the state’s current rate of progress, California will miss that deadline by several decades.

A new study finds the push to secure more water in California may hurt the state’s ability to meet greenhouse gas reduction goals.

Drought in California, coupled with population growth, is accelerating the need for energy-intensive water projects — driving up greenhouse gas emissions and thwarting the pace of statewide decarbonization efforts, a new study has found. 

Millions of Californians are at risk of losing their homes to wildfire. When tragedy strikes, people often rebuild in the same risky places, according to researchers at UC Berkeley and Next 10, a nonprofit think tank, who are urging California policymakers to rethink how communities are rebuilt after destructive wildfires.
