The leaders of California and New Zealand have signed a pledge agreeing to help fight climate change.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom and New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern pose with agreements they signed at the San Francisco Botanical Garden in San Francisco, Friday, May 27, 2022. Gov. Newsom met with Ardern in Golden Gate Park"to establish a new international partnership tackling climate change.
Cars, trucks and other parts of the transportation sector are California's biggest contributor of greenhouse gas emissions, and New Zealand's second largest behind agriculture, Ardern said. California is moving to ban sales of new gas-powered cars in the state by 2035. New Zealand wants 30% of all car sales to be electric by that year.
California already has climate-focused agreements with many other nations, including China, Canada, and Mexico.
