(Bloomberg) -- California Governor Jerry Brown signed a pact with 11 U.S. and international states, including Catalonia in Spain and Mexico’s Jalisco, aimed at curtailing temperature increases caused by carbon pollution.
The group of subnational governments agreed to cut emissions 80% to 95% below 1990 levels by 2050 or reach a per-capita annual emission target of less than 2 metric tons by 2050, Brown’s office said in a statement Tuesday.
“This global challenge requires bold action on the part of governments everywhere,” Brown, a 77-year-old Democrat, said in the statement. “It’s time to be decisive. It’s time to act.”
