The Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) is proud to
announce the publication of a new technical advisory on the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and Climate Change.


The emerging role of CEQA in addressing climate change and
greenhouse gas emissions has been the subject of much discussion
and debate in recent months.  As part of its continuing service
to professional planners, land use officials, and CEQA
practitioners, OPR, in collaboration with the California
Resources Agency, the California Environmental Protection Agency
and the California Air Resources Board, is pleased to provide
this new technical advisory containing informal guidance for
public agencies as they address the issue of climate change in
their CEQA documents.  This technical advisory provides OPR's
perspective on the issue and precedes the development of draft
implementing regulations for CEQA, in accordance with Senate
Bill 97 (Chapter 185, Statutes of 2007).

advisory.
