Climate Change Scoping Plan: A framework for change
Title
Climate Change Scoping Plan: A framework for change
Abstract
This plan calls for a reduction in California's carbon footprint by reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels, or cutting approximately 30 percent from business-as-usual emission levels projected for 2020, or about 15 percent from today's levels. Significant progress can be made toward the 2020 goal relying on existing technologies and improving the efficiency of energy use. A number of solutions are “off the shelf,” and many — especially investments in energy conservation and efficiency — have proven economic benefits. Other solutions involve improving our state's infrastructure, transitioning to cleaner and more secure sources of energy, and adopting 21st century land use planning and development practices.
