On behalf of the Association of Environmental Professionals (AEP),
Climate Change Committee, we appreciate the opportunity to provide
comments on the January 20, 2017, Draft 2017 Climate Change Scoping
Plan Update, The Proposed Strategy for Achieving California’s 2030
Greenhouse Gas Target (Draft 2017 Scoping Plan Update). 

AEP’s Climate Change Committee has the following key comments on
the Draft 2017 Scoping Plan Update. A discussion of these key
comments follows this list: 

1.	Methodology, assumptions, and data within the Pathways model
should be made publicly available. 

2.	Describe how Statewide GHG reduction measures will affect
existing development vs. new development separately. 

3.	The 2017 Scoping Plan should include a Measure to establish a
Statewide GHG Offset Program to Assist CEQA Lead Agencies in
mitigating the potential increase in GHG emissions generated by new
land use projects.

We applaud the efforts by CARB in developing a statewide framework
for continuing to reducing GHG emissions in the post-2020
timeframe.
