THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15 FROM 9:00AM- 4:00PM PACIFIC.

As part of this agenda item, the Board will consider delegating to the CARB Executive Officer the task to collaborate with the Natural Resources Agency in establishing the expert advisory committee required by Assembly Bill 757 to advise the state regarding carbon sequestration and other nature-based climate solutions to greenhouse gas emissions.
