What is the Polluter's Pay Climate Superfund Act of 2025?​
Senate Bill 684 (SB 684) and Assembly Bill 1243 (AB 1243)

  • Purpose: Makes the largest fossil fuel companies pay for climate change damages in California, including wildfires, droughts, and extreme weather.
  • How It Works:
    • CalEPA identifies major polluters and calculates climate-related costsfCompanies pay fees based on their share of greenhouse gas emissions since 1990.
    • Funds support recovery and resilience projects statewide.
  • Modeled After: The federal Superfund, but focused on climate damages and funded by fossil fuel companies.
  • Goal: Ensure polluters—not taxpayers—cover the costs of climate impacts in California.
