participate in a public workshop on April 28, 2016 to discuss
potential amendments to the Cap-and-Trade Regulation related to
linkage with the Cap-and-Trade Program in Ontario, Canada, and to
continue discussing the potential for including international,
sector-based offset credits in the California Cap-and-Trade
Program. Thursday, April 28, 2016 9:30 am – 5:00 pm

Purpose of Workshop

The April 28, 2016 workshop will continue the public process to
develop potential 2016 amendments to the Cap-and-Trade Regulation
(Regulation).  ARB staff will present the regulatory and
statutory (SB 1018) linkage process as these would relate to
linkage with the Cap-and-Trade Program in Ontario, Canada. During
the workshop, staff will also continue the discussion to evaluate
the potential to include international, sector-based offset
credits issued by subnational programs designed to reduce
emissions from tropical deforestation and forest degradation
within the Cap-and-Trade Regulation.  Topics included for this
workshop would include how the linkage process would relate to
sector-based crediting programs such as the program in Acre,
Brazil, as well as potential approaches and criteria for ensuring
that robust social and environmental safeguards are included in
any sector-based crediting program ARB may consider for linkage.

9:30 am – 10:30 am Discussion of Linkage Process and Requirements
