Comment |
Dear Ms. Nichols and Ms. Livingston: The Carbon Cycle Institute (CCI) appreciates this opportunity to comment on the California Air Resources Board’s (ARB’s) Draft Second Investment Plan (Plan). CCI is committed to addressing climate change by advancing science-based solutions, particularly in working and natural lands, that remove atmospheric carbon, while promoting environmental stewardship, social equity and economic sustainability. These comments are supplemental and reinforce the comments and recommendations made in CCI’s comment letter submitted on August 30, 2015 in response to the ARB’s draft concept paper. We are pleased by ARB’s continued focus and refined strategies on Working and Natural Lands in the Plan. We also applaud the creation and diligent work of the Natural and Working Lands Working Group that is bringing together state agencies to develop the critical strategies identified in the Plan. The Plan creates a solid foundation and emerging framework to achieve climate change goals, including carbon sequestration and GHG reductions, in the Working and Natural Lands sector. CCI offers these comments to enhance and strengthen the strategies outlined in the Plan for Working and Natural Lands, including agriculture. Thank you very much for the opportunity to comment on Plan. We plan to provide additional technical comments in December in advance revised Draft Plan. We have included (below) a summary of our recommendations from our August 2015 comment letter. If you have any questions regarding our comments, please do not hesitate to contact us. Sincerely Yours, Torri Estrada Jeff Creque, PhD Managing Director/Director of Carbon Policy Director of Agroecosystem Management |
