Program Description: Local governments and policy makers are at the forefront of California‘s attempts to address climate change. Many local agencies are developing their own proactive approaches to assessing and addressing climate change impacts. As the state is developing the AB 32 regulatory framework designed to curb the production of greenhouse gases, incentivized regional voluntary collaboration is emerging as the principal strategy to balance local control of land use and the achievement of statewide goals (e.g. SB 375). City and county governments must determine how best to approach the new strategy and state mandates to follow.

Learn about the emerging state of California’s regulation of greenhouse gases and the ways in which local agencies are confronting the challenge of climate change in land use, transportation, local government operations and CEQA environmental documents. The presenters will share their knowledge of state-level regulatory actions, local government and case law to provide insights and strategies for how local governments can best address the global issue of climate change.
