Project: state climate policies
|
Summary:
California's landmark Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32) requires coordinated action by the Air Resources Board, Public Utilities Commission, California Energy Commission, and the Independent System Operator to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in California to 1990 levels by 2010. To help guide this process we developed a vision of what success might look like in our "2020 Vision" analysis. We also recently sponsored a symposium of leading climate scientists on the most effective ways to achieve our climate targets. |

Recent Developments:
On October 1, CEERT submitted three policy recommendations to the ARB for its scoping plan for AB 32 implementation. These recommendations were for energy system planning to maximize low and zero-carbon resources, development of CREZs, and renewable-friendly pricing to replace the market price referent under the RPS. The first workshop on party scoping plan submittals will be held on November 30th. The next meeting of the Economic and Technology Advancement Advisory Committee will be held the day prior, November 29th, at UC Merced. The Committees report will be released for public comment on November 13th. The Environmental Justice Advisory Committee, of which CEERT’s Jose Carmona is a member, met on October 29th, and will be active in the AB 32 scoping plan process.
