California’s innovative policies are reducing greenhouse gas emissions and accelerating the transition to a clean-energy economy. At the same time, California is planning and preparing for the unavoidable risks of climate change.The Governor’s Environmental Goals and Policy Report serves as a broad overview for how state efforts work together on a variety of fronts to achieve long-term sustainability. Regarding climate, these efforts fit within an integrated, three-R’s strategy of reducing emissions, climate readiness and research.This strategy is supported by hundreds of agency and department initiatives that ensure long-term implementation of the broader climate change goal and policy framework. Confronting climate change will require unprecedented collaboration across state government and partner organizations and involve nearly every aspect of the state’s planning and investments

Reclaiming Energy: Farms, Forests & Waste Streams

Speakers: Kim Carr, Sustainability Specialist, Sierra Nevada Conservancy; Thomas Christofk, Air Pollution Control Officer, Placer County Air Pollution Control District; Tracy Saville, Vice President, Marketing and Public Affairs, CleanWorld/Synergex Ventures; Andrea Stephenson, General Manager, Atlas ReFuel; MODERATOR: Ashley Conrad-Saydah, Deputy Secretary for Climate Policy, CalEPA

Addressing climate change will require adaptation in all sectors of the economy. Compelling opportunities to adapt exist within the agriculture, forestry and municipal waste sectors, among many others. By completing the life cycle produced from these three sectors, representing both natural and managed resources, we find opportunities for climate adaptation and mitigation. In collecting waste efficiently and converting it to energy, we can safeguard the sectors from climate impacts, deliver clean energy, improve air and water quality, create jobs, and reduce climate forcing emissions.
