Subject: Comments to scoping plan: do not risk including REDD credits in AB32
Comment:
Please see our comments, attached: While we strongly support the overall goals and the implementation plan of AB32, we remain concerned that the use of offsets detracts from the overall objective of reducing emissions, and results in a diverse array of perverse impacts. Our comments focus on the possible inclusion of REDD-offsets within California's cap and trade program, as referred to in the draft scoping plan (pg. 95 and pg. 140). We strongly urge ARB not to consider an international REDD program, for the reasons enumerated in the body of our comments. Thank you.
