Title
California forest carbon plan concept paper: Managing our forest landscapes in a changing climate
Abstract
This concept paper provides an overview of the proposed goals and strategies of the under-development Forest Carbon Plan to provide a discussion document to foster interaction with and feedback from the public. In addition to furthering our work on the Forest Carbon Plan, the Air Resources Board will use the information developed in this process as the basis for goals for forest carbon sequestration and for reduction of greenhouse gas and black carbon emissions in the 2016
Scoping Plan Update. We have noted within this document the specific topics on which we are particularly interested in public comment at this time. Public workshops to discuss this concept paper will be held on March 23 in Sacramento and March 24 in City of Shasta Lake; details are available at www.fire.ca.gov/fcat/
Purpose
The Forest Climate Action Team (FCAT) was assembled in August of 2014 under the direction and leadership of Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. for the primary purpose of developing a Forest Carbon Plan by the end of 2016.
FCAT is comprised of executive level members from many of the State’s natural resources and environmental agencies, state and federal forest land managers, and other key partners directly or indirectly involved in California forests. FCAT is under the leadership of CAL FIRE, CalEPA, and The Natural Resources Agency.
