Polluters Pay Climate Superfund
The Polluters Pay Climate Superfund (SB 684 and AB 1243) is simple: a legislative mechanism designed to hold fossil fuel companies financially accountable for the environmental damage caused by their emissions. The goal is to dedicate funding for initiatives that address or seek to mitigate the damage of climate change, especially in vulnerable communities.
WHO WILL PAY FOR THE DAMAGE?

Who will pay for the damage from climate disasters?
Right now, the answer is us: taxpayers, ordinary people, those who had no say in the decisions that created this crisis.
The connection between greenhouse gas emissions and the extreme weather events occurring today is clear. And the companies most responsible for these emissions keep profiting, untouched by the destruction they have caused.
From 1998 to 2024, there were 46 confirmed climate disasters in California whose losses exceeded $1 billion each. In 2017 alone, the federal government spent over $120 billion responding to climate disasters.
