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 Brown’s 2030 greenhouse gas reduction goals.
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.
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.
The public symposium is scheduled for Wednesday, August 5, 2015 from 9:00 a.m – 4:00pm at CalEPA Headquarters. Detailed directions can be accessed here. The symposium can also be accessed via webcast, here. Full details can be accessed here.
