California and New Zealand have entered into what Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office described as an “international climate partnership” with aims like cutting pollution and fighting global warming, with officials signing a buzzword-heavy document on accelerating the transition to a “carbon-neutral future” that is “equitable,” “sustainable,” “resilient,” and “inclusive.”

The Memorandum of Cooperation (pdf), signed on Friday, lists a number of areas for collaboration, including emission trading schemes, “climate smart” agriculture, and transportation electrification.
