arbcombo -- Rescheduled to June 23, 2017: Public Meeting of the Environmental Justice Advisory Committee

Posted: 13 Jun 2017 09:13:41
The June 14, 2017 meeting of the AB 32 Environmental Justice
Advisory Committee has been rescheduled to June 23, 2017 from
10:00 am to 3:30 pm (PDT) at the CalEPA Headquarters Building,
Training Room 1, 1001 “I” Street, Sacramento, California 95814. 

The meeting notice and agenda are posted at:
www.arb.ca.gov/cc/ejac/meetings/meetings.htm      

Background:
The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, (AB 32)
calls for the California Air Resources Board (CARB or Board) to
develop and approve a Scoping Plan that describes the approach
the State will take to reduce GHG emissions to 1990 levels by
2020.  AB 32 also required CARB to convene a global warming
environmental justice advisory committee, to advise the Board in
developing the Scoping Plan, and any other pertinent matter in
implementing AB 32. The advisory committee is comprised of
representatives from communities in the State with the most
significant exposure to air pollution, including, but not limited
to, communities with minority populations or low-income
populations, or both.

The Board appointed the first Environmental Justice Advisory
Committee (Committee) to advise it on the Initial Scoping Plan
and other climate change programs. To advise the Board on the
First Update to the Climate Change Scoping Plan, ARB reconvened a
new Committee on March 21, 2013. To replace members that either
changed positions and had to resign from the Committee or were
unable to serve, the Board appointed four new members on
September 25, 2015.  The Committee is advising the Board on the
development of the 2017 Climate Change Scoping Plan Update: The
Proposed Strategy for Achieving California’s 2030 Greenhouse Gas
Target.

The first Scoping Plan was developed in 2008 and, per AB 32, must
be updated at least every five years.  The First Update to the
Climate Change Scoping Plan, approved by the Board on May 22,
2014, defined California’s climate change priorities for the
subsequent five years and laid the groundwork for transitioning
to the post-2020 goals set forth in Executive Orders S-3-05 and
B-16-2012.  In April 2015, Governor Brown set a new interim
statewide target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 40 percent
below 1990 levels by 2030 and directed CARB to further update the
Scoping Plan to chart the path to achieving the 2030 target.  In
2016, the Legislature passed SB 32, which codified a 2030 GHG
emissions reductions target of 40 percent below 1990 levels.
