Climate & Environment

CMTA members are committed to advancing environmental sustainability while continuing to drive economic growth and create high-quality jobs. California manufacturers are global leaders in innovation, and we believe climate policy should build on that strength—not undermine it.

To be effective, climate policies must be cost-efficient, practical, and rooted in market-based solutions. 

CMTA supports smart climate policies that:

  • Empower manufacturers to invest in cleaner, more efficient technologies.
  • Preserve California's global competitiveness by avoiding unnecessary regulatory burdens and costs.
  • Promote long-term economic growth while achieving measurable environmental benefits.
By pairing innovation with balanced, achievable policy, California can lead the way toward a cleaner, more resilient future—one that keeps manufacturing and jobs here at home.
