Panelists will discuss how California can most effectively invest these funds to support the goals of Assembly Bill 32 (AB 32) to reduce greenhouse gases, as well as encourage long-term transformation to improve public health and develop a clean energy economy. The public can share ideas about what criteria and programs should be prioritized in the development of an investment plan. ARB will soon be issuing a notice that provides additional detail about the meeting and how to participate. DATE: May 24, 2012 TIME: 1:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. PDT PLACE: California Environmental Protection Agency Building Byron Sher Auditorium, 2nd floor 1001 I Street Sacramento, California 95814 A live webcast of the meeting will be available at: http://www.calepa.ca.gov/broadcast/?BDO=1 The meeting notice will be available soon at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/meetings/meetings.htm. BACKGROUND: The Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (Chapter 488, Statutes of 2006 [AB 32, Núñez/Pavley]), requires California to reduce statewide greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and to maintain and continue reductions beyond 2020. As part of this effort, ARB has developed a cap-and-trade program. The program establishes a statewide emissions limit on sources responsible for 85 percent of greenhouse gases and creates a financial incentive for investment in clean and efficient technologies. Under the program, a portion of allowances required for compliance will be auctioned. Strategic investment of auction funds can further the purposes of AB 32 and deliver long-term economic, environmental, and clean energy benefits. The first auction is scheduled for November 2012 and auctions will be held on a quarterly basis thereafter through 2020. ACCOMMODATION: To request special accommodations or language needs, please contact Carol Wysong at 916.322.0289 as soon as possible, but no later than 10 business days before the scheduled meeting. TTY/TDD/Speech to Speech users may dial 711 for the California Relay Service.

Richard Jackson, M.D., M.P.H., F.A.A.P. University of California, Los Angeles Wednesday, July 11, 2012 12 Noon PDT Byron Sher Auditorium, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California California and the United States face grave challenges in economy, environment, and health. “Easy oil” is gone and other resources are being depleted. Global heating increasingly threatens human health and species survival worldwide. Medical care costs will continue to escalate for reasons of technology and population aging, and the tripling of obesity and doubling of diabetes rates will impose staggering health and productivity costs, so that by the year 2030 eleven percent of U.S. adults will have a Body Mass Index over 40 (100 pounds overweight). These challenges demand solutions that solve problems across the domains of economy, environment, and health. To meet these fiscal, social, and environmental needs, California must demand top-down and bottom-up solutions. California is showing leadership in greenhouse gas reduction and sustainability, in new technologies and pollution reduction, but needs a vision for human habitats, homes and offices, neighborhoods, and transit systems that salvage health as well as the economy and the planet: communities that use fewer resources and at the same time offer rich engagement in life, meaningful work, local healthy food, and plenty of “incidental” physical activity. Dr. Jackson will present strategies to get these options to work.
