What you need to know: California’s Community Air Protection Program continues delivering air quality gains in neighborhoods with longstanding pollution challenges. “Communities across California are demonstrating that when residents, local organizations, and public agencies collaborate, cleaner air follows,” said Lauren Sanchez, chair of the California Air Resources Board (CARB). CARB completed the Community Air Protection Program report. This includes funding for clean mobility, filtration systems, air monitoring, dust reduction, and industrial emission controls. With a strong focus on communities most impacted by pollution and limited access to resources, California Climate Investments helps build a more equitable and sustainable future.
