Subject | climate action plan should include ambitious GHG emission reduction targets for land use |
Comment | Dear CARB, Global warming is the key challenge of our time. Meeting this challenge requires fundamental changes in the way we grow our communities. In the AB 32 Scoping Plan, I would like to see CARB increase the land use target from 5 million metric tons (MMT) of CO2 equivalent to 11-14 MMT. The higher target and the benefits of dense, mixed-use development are achievable with policies California is already considering. Setting a higher target for the land use sector will signal to the world that new land use patterns are a high priority in the fight against global warming. A higher target should be coupled with a commitment to provide financial resources, technical assistance, and other support to help regions, local governments, and transportation agencies achieve the target. Thanks for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Ron Goldman |
