Summary

The bill lets the Natural Resources Agency’s secretary appoint a person or a University of California center to run a new Secretariat for International Climate Coordination and Cooperation, helping the state engage in global climate negotiations. It also changes reporting rules so the Air Resources Board must post yearly greenhouse‑gas and pollutant data online and include a discussion of international climate agreements in its annual report to the joint legislative committee. These steps aim to improve coordination on climate policy and increase transparency of emissions information.
