Agenda
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
With the passage of the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32), California has become a leader in national and international efforts to mitigate or limit the emission of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming. Yet as the state prepares to launch an ambitious plan to bring emissions down to 1990 levels by 2020, new policy challenges loom on the horizon. This conference unveils some of the latest research, and provides an opportunity for discussion and exchange with state and local climate policy leaders.
