The California Air Resources Board has released their ‘Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Strategy’ for reducing the state’s emissions of short-lived greenhouse gases like black carbon, hydrofluorocarbons and methane, that contribute to climate change.
This new strategy is in response to law SB 1383, signed in September 2016 by California’s Governor Brown. Its successful implementation will meet the required 40% reduction of methane by 2030 from 2013 levels. The plan needs to be implemented by January 2018.
