The Senate Select Committee on Climate Change and AB 32 Implementation will explore questions about greenhouse gas emissions, water conservation and traffic reduction at a hearing Friday, Nov. 13, at the UCLA School of Law.
The committee will hear from experts about emerging economic-development opportunities in such areas as the production of low-carbon fuels, creation of an alternative fuel infrastructure, and the development of advanced manufacturing technologies that will lower manufacturing costs by reducing energy use.
Others will testify about how the development of local water-supply solutions such as capturing urban storm water will produce dual benefits for California, relief from drought-related shortages and lower energy use by reducing the need for pumping water over long distances.
“By establishing clear standards to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions over time, AB 32 sent a strong market signal that energy-saving innovation would pay multiple dividends in California,” said Sen. Fran Pavley, D-Agoura Hills, chair of the select committee. “We are already seeing those dividends pay off, and it’s clear there are many more opportunities ahead for innovation that will save energy, create economic opportunity and help California address a wide range of public policy challenges.”
Much of the discussion at Friday’s hearing will focus on dual-benefit initiatives being taken in the Los Angeles region, including strategies developed by Fixing Angelinos Stuck in Traffic designed to relieve traffic congestion while also reducing greenhouse gas emissions from cars.
The hearing will take place on Friday, Nov. 13 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in Room 1347 of the UCLA Law School Building, 385 Charles E. Young Drive East. Pay-by-space parking is available in the parking area by the Law Building along Charles E. Young Drive East.
