State Budget Update

The Governor's proposed Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget was released on Friday, January 9. While the FY 2026-27 budget appears to be in better shape than anticipated, the Governor's proposal identifies an expected $22 billion deficit for FY 2027-28 and shortfalls in the following two years. This Department of Finance summary document outlines some of the proposed expenditures and initiatives for 2026. The 2026-27 numbers are the Governor’s proposal, and the Legislature will now have an opportunity to weigh in and negotiate Prop 4 allocations; some of the numbers could change. The Administration does not have a proposal to address the APA Exemption issue. CCLT is actively pushing the Legislature to pass AB 35 (Alvarez) and we encourage you to reach out to your Assemblymember or Senator if you have not done so already.

Prop 4 Passes in California

Despite the crowded ballot and contentious national election, our collective work and leadership makes it clear that climate action is a top priority for our communities. Prop 4 will help California shift from disaster response to disaster prevention before the damage becomes too costly and unmanageable – preventing wildfires, providing safe drinking water for everyone, and protecting our forests, beaches, and coasts.

Land Acknowledgement
CCLT Action Fund acknowledges that all of the lands and waters in which we live and work are the traditional unceded ancestral homelands and sacred spaces of native peoples from more than 100 nations, who inhabited, and still inhabit, these lands. Many of CCLT Action Fund’s partner land trusts are actively working with local tribes to return ancestral lands. They are also partnering with tribes to exchange knowledge and share resources towards traditional stewardship of conserved lands.
