The California Air Resources Board (CARB) is hosting a public
workshop to present the 2017 Climate Change Scoping Plan Update:
The Proposed Strategy for Achieving California's 2030 Greenhouse
Gas Target (Proposed Plan) and solicit stakeholder input on the
Proposed Plan. CARB staff will present an overview of the
Proposed Plan and provide information on refinements to analyses
under consideration as part of the development of the final
Scoping Plan.
The workshop is open to the public and full participation by all
parties is encouraged:
DATE: Thursday, February 9, 2017
TIME: 10:00 am to 4:00 pm
PLACE:
California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) Byron Sher
Auditorium
1001 I Street, 2nd Floor
Sacramento, California 95814
This workshop is part of the public process to update the AB 32
Scoping Plan to reflect Governor's Executive Order B-30-15 and
Senate Bill 32, which establish a mid-term greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions reduction target for California of 40 percent below
1990 levels by 2030. All State agencies with jurisdiction over
sources of GHG emissions were directed to implement measures to
achieve reductions of GHG emissions to meet the 2030 and 2050
targets. CARB was directed to update the AB 32 Scoping Plan.
CARB and other State agencies are identifying the suite of
programs, regulations, incentives, and supporting actions needed
to continue driving down emissions and ensure we are on a
trajectory to meet our mid- and long-term climate goals.
The Proposed Plan describes the actions the State would take to
achieve the SB 32 climate goals of reducing greenhouse gases of
at least 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. It outlines an
approach that cuts across economic sectors to combine greenhouse
gas reductions with reductions of smog-causing pollutants, while
also safeguarding public health and economic goals. It also
describes the need to extend key reduction programs now underway,
lays out new actions that prioritize direct emission reductions,
and establishes the trajectory that will move the State farther
along the path to a low-carbon future.
The Proposed Plan includes input from a range of State agencies.
It is also the result of extensive public and stakeholder
processes designed to ensure that California's greenhouse gas and
pollution reduction efforts continue to improve public health and
drive development of a more sustainable economy.
