California has committed to the goal of conserving 30 percent of its lands and coastal waters by 2030. The California Natural Resources Agency is tasked with coordinating the execution of 30×30 with other State agencies and stakeholders through a series of actions, including the development of a document called the Pathways to 30×30. The Draft Pathways to 30×30 strategy was released on December 15, 2021. This panel will provide an overview of the draft document and the impacts that the state’s conservation goals will have on private companies and non-profit organizations that are critical to reaching this ambitious target.

1:40 – 2:55 pm | Working Towards Equitable Building Electrification in the San Joaquin Valley

1.25 MCLE Credits

Building electrification is an important component of the California Air Resources Board’s Scoping Plan and State Implementation Plan Strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, ozone, and particulate matter.  The current state commitments show emissions reductions starting in 2030, but many community groups have urged agencies to commit to earlier implementation, since several California cities and counties outside the San Joaquin Valley have adopted ordinances to phase out natural gas.  However, the San Joaquin Valley faces unique economic, geographic, cultural, and other challenges in this work.  This panel would explore the importance of building electrification in the Valley, the challenges facing the San Joaquin Valley residents and communities in building electrification, and opportunities to accelerate progress on this issue.

Moderator: Jessi Fierro, California Air Resources Board

Speakers:
Jamie Katz, Staff Attorney, Leadership Counsel for Justice and Accountability
Michael Sokol, Director, Efficiency Division, California Energy Commission
