California faces severe climate impacts and risks falling behind on its climate targets while withstanding federal challenges. Cap-and-trade’s contribution is unique—no other policy delivers cheaper reductions, generates revenue, and drives innovation. But cap-and-trade isn’t a blunt tool running on autopilot; it has dozens of features that need thoughtful stewardship. We do not have time for wrong answers to fundamentally economic questions like how cap-and-trade can meet aggressive targets, protect consumers from price increases, and decarbonize industry. Economists are often disconnected from policy, leaving crucial insights untapped to society’s detriment. CapCA provides an unparalleled strategic platform for economic expertise to inform policy, address people’s needs, and meet climate goals.

Clean & Prosperous Washington brings a perspective grounded in business to driving down greenhouse gas emissions while working to improve health and job outcomes to propel a stronger, more globally competitive economy. The Clean & Prosperous coalition has proven effective in winning passage of the cap-and-invest Climate Commitment Act (CCA) in Olympia, successfully defending the law from a ballot initiative challenge, and guiding the implementation of the CCA as the cornerstone of an entire suite of environmental laws, including the Clean Fuel Standard and the HEAL Act—Healthy Environment for All. Clean & Prosperous is now building momentum in other states to pursue cap-and-invest programs of their own.

Clean Energy for America (CE4A) and CE4A Action are organizations that are dedicated to the clean energy workforce. They engage and catalyze their base for advocacy and elections, hold elected and appointed officials accountable at all levels, and amplify stories from workers. They are committed to ensuring the success of the clean energy transition. In 2024, CE4A will continue to support narrative building work in key states by telling the stories of clean energy workers, engaging decision makers through projects in their districts, and strengthening the durability of federal investments like the IRA, BIL, CHIPs Act, and other key programs. CE4A Action, their federal hybrid PAC, will grow support for clean energy champions through targeted programs in key geographies to ensure that clean energy is a winning issue.

California is at a crossroads in the climate fight. As a clean energy pioneer, the state made history in 2012 by launching its cap-and-trade program. With the program set to expire in 2030, the oil industry is doing everything it can to weaken the reauthorization progress. Meanwhile, frontline communities continue to bear the brunt of pollution and climate-driven disasters. As the legislature works to extend the program through 2045, environmental justice advocates are mobilizing to ensure that equity, not industry influence, shapes California’s clean energy future. Funds raised will support additional resources for a communications campaign led by environmental justice advocates.

Semilla Action is leading the Clear Horizons Campaign where we have an opportunity to make tremendous progress for climate action by passing the Clear Horizons Act (Senate Bill 4), the Community Benefits Fund Act (Senate Bills 48 & 49), and the Innovations in Government Act (Senate Bill 83). These bills take an intersectional approach to not only codifying emissions reductions targets into state law through the Clear Horizons Act, but simultaneously pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into communities for just transition and clean energy projects that will directly reduce emissions in the Community Benefits Fund.

Permit Power is working to make clean energy more affordable and accessible by addressing bureaucratic barriers that make rooftop solar 7-8 times more expensive in the U.S. compared to other developed countries. These obstacles include lengthy, complex local permitting processes and utility interconnection delays. Building on successful legislation in California and Maryland, which established pathways for instant online permits for rooftop solar and home battery installations, Permit Power is advocating for related legislation in seven states in 2025. This presentation will explore how changing policy design and strategic messaging can offer a pathway to success in the very different States of New Jersey and Texas.

NYLCV fights climate change, protects clean air and water, and safeguards open space through advocacy and political action. NYLCV is a nonpartisan organization that is pragmatic and has a track record of achieving results both locally and statewide that have advanced New York’s clean energy economy. NYLCV will coordinate a coalition to advance New York’s Cap and Invest (NYCI) program. We will advocate for a robust program that cuts emissions, returns revenue back to New Yorkers, and benefits environmental justice areas. Near-term, we will wrap up polling and launch a campaign focused on first demonstrating public support for NYCI to the Governor and mobilizing supportive state legislators. The second phase will include a scalable digital campaign to win over persuadable New Yorkers.
