Statewide Greenhouse Gas Advocacy Update

9/28/2021

0 Comments

 
While legislation is essential to climate action, the work doesn't stop there. We need thoughtful, ambitious implementation by our state agencies, too.

Lately, we've been busy spreading the word about urban environmentalism at the California Air Resources Board, which is updating the state's 2045 carbon emissions roadmap (the Scoping Plan Update). This roadmap is hugely impactful, so we need to get it right.

This past month, we submitted comments on draft roadmap targets. We argued for:

  • Quick timelines for carbon neutrality
  • Ambitious and enforceable reductions in driving
  • Treating micromobility and walking as legitimate transportation modes that can be highly impactful climate measures
  • Treating land use as an essential element of building decarbonization
  • Consideration of the interconnected nature of climate change mitigation and adaptation measures

Want to learn more? Here's a look at our entire public comment. Or visit the California Air Resources Board website to learn more about the Scoping Plan.
