arbcombo -- Agenda Posted: August 5, 2015 Symposium on the Governor's Natural and Working Lands Greenhouse Gas Reduction Goals
Posted: 30 Jul 2015 09:33:33
On August 5, 2015, the California Natural Resources Agency, California Department of Food and Agriculture, and 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. The draft agenda for this symposium is now available on the Air Resources Board’s website: http://arb.ca.gov/cc/pillars/natworklands/agenda.pdf 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, increase carbon sequestration rates, and improve opportunities to develop synergies that promote resource stewardship and contribute to greenhouse gas emission reductions in other sectors. 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.
