Special Insider Teleconference: California's Global Warming Solutions Act (AB 32)

Date:
Tuesday, October 14th, 2008 - 10:30-11:30am PDT

Featuring:
David Festa, Vice President, West Coast, EDF
Derek Walker, California Climate Initiative, EDF

With Special Guest:
Mary Nichols, Chairman, CARB

Governor Schwarzenegger signed the boldest global warming law in U.S. history, AB 32, less than 2 years ago. Since that time, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) has been hard at work on a blueprint detailing how they will implement the landmark legislation. CARB released their final proposed blueprint - dubbed the "AB 32 Scoping Plan" - in early October. CARB chair Mary Nichols joined us to talk about the highlights and the role EDF is playing in the process.

This call was the second in a series of teleconference calls and communications EDF will be offering to keep you informed of new developments and progress on California's ground-breaking Global Warming Solutions Act.
