Newsom highlighted joint efforts with the innovation and technology sector to promote clean energy.

“I am challenging the tech industry to do more. Now they are doing it by example. They actually helped lead our efforts to create the conditions where I can sign the emissions bill for large-scale, high-cap companies,” he said.

He also said that young people have a role to play in advancing climate action through their innovation.

“You are about to inherit a planet that we messed up. We may be in positions of formal authority, but you have a quality of imagination, you have got to share with your passion, with action.”
