Working lands plan subject of California public meeting

The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA), the California Natural Resources Agency, the California Environmental Protection Agency, the California Air Resources Board, and the Strategic Growth Council are jointly hosting a public workshop to discuss and receive input on the development of the Natural and Working Lands Implementation Plan (Implementation Plan) and associated 2030 intervention-based goal for carbon sequestration.

The workshop will include a presentation and moderated discussion to gather stakeholder input on the proposed outline and approach for development of the Implementation Plan. The event will also explore the process for determining the 2030 intervention-based carbon sequestration goal for natural and working lands.

The event will be held on May 18, from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m in the Rosenfield Hearing Room at the California Energy Commission Building, located at 1516 9th Street Sacramento, California 95814. To register or watch the webcast, click here.

Land-based strategies are critical to meet the State’s long-term climate goals. The Implementation Plan will set a pathway for California’s working lands, including forests, farmlands, ranch lands, grasslands, wetlands, and urban land.
