The California Air Resources Board (CARB) is charged with protecting the public from the harmful effects of air pollution and developing programs and actions to fight climate change. The Global Warming Solutions Act, AB 32, requires CARB to develop and implement measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. One of these measures, the Cap and Trade program, generates revenue that must be used on projects to further reduce GHGs. At this event you will hear more about the California Climate Investments program, the Triennial Investment Plan, the application process, and how to have input into the type of projects to be funded over the next 3 years. Although the Legislature makes the final decision, CARB actively engages California businesses and communities to have a voice in how this money is spent. Getting involved now supports future development in the state.
