Air Resources Board Offering Local Government Assistance AB 32 Workshop - March 9 On March 9, the California Air Resources Board (ARB) will host a workshop for local government officials on cost-effective strategies to assist loeal governments in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as part of the ARB implementation of the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AS 32). The workshop will be held in the Coastal Hearing Room from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Cal/EPA Headquarters building at 10011 Street. It will also be available via webcast. ' California's Climate Change Scoping Plan encourages local governments to adopt GHG reduction goals consistent with statewide targets to reduce emissions by about 15 percent. In addition, S8 375 sets out a process for achieving these GHG reductions through better land use and transportation planning. The public workshop will focus on ARB's efforts related to reducing GHG emissions with an overview of local government related climate change activities and how they contribute to the statewide goals of AB 32 and S8 375 implementation. Participants will receive a Local Government Toolkit which includes important information on cost- saving actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions including energy efficiency and conservation, renewable energy, green transportation, green building, waste reduction and recycling, water conservation, recycling and reuse, and environmentally preferable purchasing. The toolkit will also include financial resources and case studies that highlight California local governments that have successfully and profitably reduced GHG emissions. This toolkit is a compendium of guidance and resources to assist local governments to reduce GHG emissions and save money. You can view the public workshop notice at: htlo:/Iwww.arb.ca.aov/cc/localaction/meetinas/meetinas.htm. A workshop agenda and presentation will also be posted to this Web site prior to the workshop meeting.
