Proposition 4 would help prepare Californians for the impacts of climate change, largely in the form of infrastructure projects. It would allocate $3.8 billion for safe drinking water, drought, flood and water resilience programs; $1.5 billion for wildfire prevention and restoring the health of forests; and $1.2 billion to increase coastal resiliency and mitigate sea level rise. Other funds would address extreme heat, create nature-based solutions, fight air pollution, etc. It also requires that at least 40% of the funds be used for projects that benefit disadvantaged communities.
Yes Argument
Proposition 4 will allow the state to make needed investments to help California prepare for the ongoing effects of climate change that have worsened in recent years. If passed, it will protect water quality, help prevent wildfires, safeguard coastal communities from sea-level rise, preserve wildlife habitat, and help frontline communities access safe drinking water and green spaces. According to a state report, not intervening would cost Californians $113 billion annually by 2050.
No Argument
California must find other ways to fund climate projects without incurring new debt.
