 Our
Global Warming Program works throughout California to create an informed
and engaged constituency who advocate for strong global warming policies
at all levels of government. We bring our policy expertise to the
state Capitol in Sacramento and to state agencies to promote sound
policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly from land
use and water management decisions. In partnership with the National
Wildlife Federation, we also engage California sportsmen and conservationists
to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help wildlife survive the
unavoidable impacts of global warming.
The task is challenging. The reasons are clear - for our children, for
ourselves. Find out how our program can help your organization
create global warming action and accountability today!
On the Edge: Protecting California’s Fish and Waterfowl from Global Warming (1.6MB PDF file)
This cutting-edge report by the PCL Foundation and the National Wildlife Federation describes the impacts of global warming on California’s fish and waterfowl and our outdoor economy. It also outlines achievable, effective solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reform management of California’s water, and help protect wildlife from global warming. If you are a journalist covering the release of this report, please contact Matt Vander Sluis.
Local Climate Action
Initiative
PCL’s Local Climate Action Initiative creates a venue for
grassroots environmental leaders to learn about policies their local governments
can adopt to cut the global warming pollution from new developments. We offer
workshops and a toolkit of education and advocacy materials with examples
of successful community campaigns, policy templates, fact sheets, sample
press releases, etc. To request a workshop in your community, please contact Matt
Vander Sluis.
CEQA and Global Warming
Legal Memo (177K PDF file)
Download a copy of this legal paper which describes how the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) requires state and local agencies that approve development
projects to identify the potential contributions to global warming from those
developments and to adopt measures to mitigate or avoid those impacts.
