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.
