Thanks to the efforts of every individual who took action and raised their voices, the Climate Bond was passed by the California Legislature on July 3, 2024 and will be on the ballot in November as Proposition 4! Audubon proudly joined forces with over 180 conservation and environmental justice organizations to advocate for the Climate Bond over the past few years. We're proud of and grateful to our over 5100 supporters that showed up and shared their voice to get this important and unprecedented bond on the ballot.
Now, Californians have the opportunity to take further action and vote for the resources birds and people need to adapt to the intensifying effects of climate change, paving the way for a brighter and climate-resilient future. Given the alarming prediction that two-thirds of North American bird populations could face extinction by 2100 due to climate change, the urgency is clear.
The coming decade is crucial for preventing the worst impacts of climate change. We know Californians are committed to the shared work of building environmental resilience. This includes addressing intensifying wildfires, floods, extreme heat, and continued habitat loss, all of which present existential threats to both people and birds.
We invite you to join us in envisioning a future that works for all of us, imagining what our state could become. Supporting this bond means investing in our environment, our treasured biodiversity, and the well-being of all Californians, creating a brighter future for everyone.
Proposition 4 is particularly special because it allocates at least 40% of its funding to underserved and climate-vulnerable communities, many of which have not received funding in past bond efforts. It will benefit birds and communities throughout the state with the below major funding categories, including:
There are several elements of the bond that directly align with Audubon California’s top priorities, benefiting both birds and communities, including:
These investments are essential to protect both people and bird populations now, as the impacts and financial costs of climate change escalate. While $10 billion in bond funds may seem significant, the cost of delay and inaction is even greater. According to estimates, climate impacts, including wildfires, floods, and extreme heat, could harm thousands of Californians annually, with aggregated costs exceeding $50 billion by 2050.
California’s birds and people urgently need climate action now. Join us in supporting Proposition 4 and working to pass it in November. Educate friends, family, and colleagues about the bond's importance and the urgency of climate action. Check out the Yes on Prop 4 campaign website for additional iupdates and resources.
