CARB to Hold Regional Meetings on Draft Proposed Cap-and-Trade Adaptive Management
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) is holding meetings to provide an update on the
status of the development of the Cap-and-Trade Adaptive Management
Process. The meetings are open to the public. Adaptive management is a
process of information gathering, review, and analysis and response used
by CARB that is designed to promote flexible public agency
decision-making. CARB committed to use the adaptive management approach
as an integral part of implementing the Cap-and-Trade program in order
to address unanticipated adverse air quality impacts that could result
from the program. Staff intends to present a final proposed Adaptive
Management Process to the board in spring/early summer 2016. Additional
meeting details are posted at http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/adaptivemanagement/meetings/notice.pdf
