arbcombo -- August 5: Governor’s Symposium to discuss Strategies to Secure and Enhance Carbon Storage on Natural and Working Lands
Posted: 22 Jul 2015 14:09:21
SAVE THE DATE: Joint Agency Symposium on the Governor’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Goals to be Discussed at an August 5 Forum. The California Natural Resources Agency, the California Department of Food and Agriculture, and the California Air Resources Board will conduct a public symposium to discuss the development of strategies to achieve Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr’s 2030 greenhouse gas reduction goals. Natural Resources Secretary John Laird, Agriculture Secretary Karen Ross and Air Resources Board Executive Officer Richard Corey will speak at the event. Additional representatives from these and other state agencies and the Governor’s Office may also attend and participate. WHEN: Wednesday, August 5, 2015, 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. WHERE: Byron Sher Auditorium, Cal/EPA Headquarters 1001 I St., Sacramento, CA 95814 Directions and public transit options: http://www.calepa.ca.gov/epabldg/location.htm Live webcast: http://www.calepa.ca.gov/broadcast This symposium will discuss strategies to secure and enhance carbon storage on natural and working lands, including farms, rangelands, forests and wetlands throughout California. Topics include protecting and managing land to minimize greenhouse gas emissions and increase carbon sequestration rates and opportunities to develop synergies that promote resource stewardship and contribute to greenhouse gas emission reductions in other sectors. Background This symposium is one of a series of public forums soliciting stakeholder input on five key climate change strategy pillars that Governor Brown identified in his January 2015 inaugural address. The pillars recognize that several major areas of the California economy will need to reduce their emissions to meet the 2030 target. The five pillars are: (1) reducing today’s petroleum use in cars and trucks by up to 50 percent; (2) increasing from one-third to 50 percent our electricity derived from renewable sources; (3) doubling the efficiency savings achieved at existing buildings and making heating fuels cleaner; (4) reducing the release of methane, black carbon, and other short lived climate pollutants; and (5) managing farm and rangelands, forests and wetlands so they can store carbon.
