MEDIA ADVISORY: CalEPA and CARB hold public meetings on
California Climate Investments in disadvantaged communities

SACRAMENTO — Members of the public are invited to participate in
community meetings to discuss use of proceeds raised through the
state’s Cap-and-Trade auctions to fund projects that reduce
greenhouse gases in disadvantaged and low-income communities
through the California Climate Investments initiative. The
meetings focus on two questions: how to identify disadvantaged
communities and how to assess benefits of proposed projects to
individuals living in these communities. 

The California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) and
California Air Resources Board (CARB) staff are hosting the
following meetings to share their initial thinking on these
issues and seek public input. These meetings are part of the
implementation of Senate Bill 535 (De León, 2012) and Assembly
Bill 1550 (Gomez, 2016).

What: Three public, community meetings to discuss investment of
cap-and-trade proceeds in disadvantaged communities through the
California Climate Investments initiative. 

Who: Staff from CalEPA, CARB and members of the public

California Climate Investments is a statewide initiative that
puts billions of cap-and-trade dollars to work reducing
greenhouse gas emissions, strengthening the economy and improving
public health and the environment—particularly in disadvantaged
communities. The cap-and-trade program also creates a financial
incentive for industries to invest in clean technologies and
develop innovative ways to reduce pollution. 

California Climate Investment projects include affordable
housing, renewable energy, public transportation, zero-emission
vehicles, environmental restoration, more sustainable
agriculture, recycling and much more. At least 35 percent of
these investments are made in disadvantaged and low-income
communities. For more information, visit California Climate
