Dear CARB,
Global warming is the key challenge of our time. Meeting this
challenge
requires fundamental changes in the way we grow our communities.
In the AB
32 Scoping Plan, we would like to see CARB increase the land use
target from
5 million metric tons (MMT) of CO2 equivalent to 11-14 MMT.
- The higher target and the benefits of dense, mixed-use
development are
achievable with policies California is already considering.
- Setting a higher target for the land use sector will signal to
the
world that new land use patterns are a high priority in the
fight against
global warming.
- A higher target should be coupled with a commitment to
provide
financial resources, technical assistance, and other support to
help
regions, local governments, and transportation agencies achieve
the target.
Thanks for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Diana Reddy
