5. Climate Mitigation and Racial Equity
CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD 5
• Actions must protect public health and
address opportunity gaps
• Residents in heavily burdened
communities must be first to benefit
from climate action
• Carbon pricing funds must be reinvested
to benefit burdened communities
• >50% of Cap-and-Trade Revenue
reinvested to provide benefits
“The greatest beneficiaries
of reduced emissions from
both HDVs and facilities
subject to the Cap-and-
Trade Program have been
in communities of color
and in disadvantaged
communities in California,
as identified by
CalEnviroScreen (CES).
This has reduced the
emission gap between
communities with high and
low CES scores, but a
wide gap still remains.”
