RE: Comments on 2030 Target Scoping Plan Concept Paper 


As a member of Students for a Sustainable Stanford, I appreciate
the opportunity to provide comments regarding the 2030 Target
Scoping Plan. I support combating climate change through an
aggressive program that emphasizes reducing GHG at the source and
not through market based strategies such as Cap-and-Trade.


I support and affirm the Principles of Environmental Justice, the
Principles of Climate Justice with a human rights framework that
includes the American Declaration on the Rights & Duties of Man,
the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
While the inclusion of the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation
and Forest Degradation (REDD) is not specifically addressed in the
Scoping plan, I urge the CARB to not include international
sector-based offsets programs such as REDD into future plans to
meet 2030 climate goals. I also urge CARB to cancel the process of
including REDD in California’s cap and trade program.  


I urge your committee to refer to comments submitted by the
Environmental Justice Advisory Committee April 4, 2016 which
propose that:

·      California not commit to continuing Cap-and-Trade. Trades
cannot be accurately verified and can be subject to fraud. Market
based proposals perpetuates disproportionate negative impact
exposures to EJ communities.

·      REDD and other market-based proposals should not be included
in the Scoping Plan.


Sincerely,

Miranda Vogt
