"As the President of the United States turns his back on people and the planet, California is inking global partnerships focused on creating jobs and cutting toxic pollution, Newsom said in the statement. The economic winners of the 21st century are those who build the clean energy future. We're doing that right now and showing the world that climate action means jobs, clean air and lower costs."
"President Trump has oft dismissed climate change as a hoax or a con job and is not sending representatives to the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference, which runs from Nov. 10 through 21. He has withdrawn the U.S. from international climate pacts and pledged allegiance to fossil fuels. Newsom is stepping in to fill the void, compelled by the complete abdication of the Trump administration that is joining the Saudis and Russia and the Gulf states, he told Politico on Wednesday,"
California Governor Gavin Newsom will attend COP30 in Belem, Brazil as a prominent U.S. representative while the federal administration declines to send officials. The federal government has withdrawn from international climate pacts and prioritized fossil fuel production, aligning with Saudi, Russian and Gulf interests. Newsom frames climate action as the central economic opportunity of the 21st century, emphasizing clean-energy job creation, reduced pollution, and competitiveness. California is pursuing global partnerships to build the clean-energy future. Newsom's COP30 appearance will raise his international profile ahead of a possible 2028 presidential run and follows his recent Prop 50 redistricting victory.
