Today we honor Dr. Jane Goodall, a true trailblazer in environmental science & conservation. From studying chimpanzees in the wild to advocating for sustainability, she’s one of the world’s most influential voices in conservation. #WomensHistoryMonth The Jane Goodall Institute

We're honoring women like Dr. Vandana Shiva, a global environmental activist & advocate for biodiversity, sustainable agriculture & women’s rights. Her life’s work is a testament to the power of grassroots movements & the importance of women in #ClimateAction. #WomensHistoryMonth

We're celebrating World Water Day - a day all about the importance of freshwater!   As part of its celebration of #WorldWaterDay, University of California, Berkeley invited State Water Board Chair E. Joaquin Esquivel to take part in a panel for its conference, Addressing Water Challenges of a Changing Climate. The panel, "Putting Research in Action," focused on how to integrate university research into state and local policy to help shape a brighter future. Chair Esquivel underscored the growing need for engineers, public policy students and climatologists who intimately understand climate change challenges.   DYK? The State and Regional Water Boards have regulatory responsibility for protecting the water quality of nearly 1.6 million acres of lakes, 1.3 million acres of bays and estuaries, 211,000 miles of rivers and streams, and about 1,100 miles of California coastline.   Learn more about our work: https://lnkd.in/gsxMBVHG

Women engineers are breaking boundaries every day. Like Dr. Radia Perlman, a pioneer in network protocols who’s often referred to as the “Mother of the Internet.” Her innovations continue to shape our digital world. #WomenInSTEM #WomensHistoryMonth

By now you’ve probably seen the slick ads trying to convince you that CARB should turn back the wheels of progress on our vehicle standards as the global market continues to roll forward toward a zero-emission future.    It’s no surprise the industry is taking advantage of the political situation to create an artificial crisis that misleads consumers and undermines our work.   The latest campaign is propagating a doomsday scenario based on the false narrative that manufacturers will not take advantage of flexibility available to them and will make extreme business decisions to stop selling or drastically reduce numbers of new cars for sale — in the largest market in the country.   For over five decades California has worked closely with the auto industry to ensure that all new vehicle standards are feasible, cost-effective and will not result in market disruptions, especially with the introduction of ZEVs, which began over 30 years ago.    We remain committed to continuing to work closely with manufacturers to ensure the success of the program and we will extend flexibility to individual companies as needed.   Get the facts ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gUY3Nmpa
