The Webinar, will be followed by an open Web Dialogue beginning at noon and running until 5 p.m. on August 13. 

Important note: You must register separately for the Web Dialogue.

ICLEI will submit a summary of these Webinar and Web Dialogue discussions and recommendations directly to ARB as they undertake revisions to the Scoping Plan in August. This will help ensure that they are aware of the opportunities for and needs of local governments in contributing to the emissions reduction goals established by AB 32.
