CARB: Any climate change plans going forward should
restrict fossil fuel expansion – domestically and globally.
CARB must require refineries to put Indigenous rights screens in
place and mechanisms to ensure that oil will not be sourced from
new drilling in the Amazon.
- Rein in rogue
refineries. Commit California to a policy/regulatory
agenda that ensures that California refineries are not sourcing
crude from regions where there are Indigenous rights violations or
from regions where new oil drilling in the Amazon is being
planned.
- Don't punt
California's climate impacts to communities in the
Amazon. Present a plan for California to reduce and/or
eliminate its consumption of crude from the Amazon.
- Commit
California to new fuel efficiency standards and expanded
electrification of fleets that consume the most Amazon
oil. Expansion of EVs broadly, and public transportation goals to
reduce domestic consumption equivalent to Amazon oil import
totals.
