ImplicationsImplicationsImplicationsImplications
• Reductions needed across many sources and sectors
• Will be multi-agency effort– Climate Action Plan
• Will be mix of near-term and long-term approaches– 2020 is not final endpoint

Climate Action TeamClimate Action TeamClimate Action TeamClimate Action Team
• Many GHG reduction activities cut across agency boundaries
• Agencies other than ARB are lead for important components
• Climate Action Team will oversee coordinated effort
• Public meeting held March 12, 2007 to discuss plan update– Coordinated with AB 32 timing

Climate Action Team SubgroupsClimate Action Team Subgroups
• Local Government/Smart Growth• State Fleet• Agriculture• Green Buildings• Forestry• Cement• Landfills/Digester• Water/Energy Efficiency
• ARB working closely with CCAR– Review of existing protocols– Development of new protocols– Consultation on reporting issues

Local Government ActivitiesLocal Government ActivitiesLocal Government ActivitiesLocal Government Activities
• Local governments showing climate leadership
• ARB liaison working to build relationships• Climate Action Team subgroup
established to better define state/local interaction– Support for local activities– Guidance on possible reduction strategies– Quantification/accounting of reductions

Near Term FocusNear Term FocusNear Term FocusNear Term Focus
• On June 21, 2007, the Board adopted early actions grouped into 3 categories:– Group 1: Discrete Early Action Measures– Group 2: Additional Greenhouse Gas
Reduction Strategies– Group 3: Criteria and Air Toxic Control
Measures

Recognition of Voluntary ActionRecognition of Voluntary ActionRecognition of Voluntary ActionRecognition of Voluntary Action
• Adopt methodologies for quantification of voluntary emission reductions
• Ensure that entities that have voluntarily reduced emissions receive appropriate credit
• Adopt regulations to verify and enforce any voluntary emission reductions to comply with GHG emission limits
