The Land Use Subgroup of the Climate
Action Team
(LUSCAT) is one of eleven multiagency subgroups formed to provide
recommendations to the ARB for consideration as the board develops a
plan to reduce GHG emissions in California. The LUSCAT is tasked
with coordinating climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts in
cross-cutting areas that are crucial to meeting the state’s greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions reduction goals related to local government and
land use activities. The ARB Scoping
Plan will lay out state policies and actions to meet the GHG reductions targets in AB 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006.
