• AB 32 (2006) Global Warming Solutions Act
• Reduce GHG emissions at least 20 by 2020
• SB 375 (2008)

Californias Climate Change Adaptation Programs
and InitiativesExecutive Order S-13-08

• Climate Adaptation Strategy

• Recognizes the need for statewide consistency in
  planning for sea level rise
• Proposes NAS panel to conduct sea level rise
  assessment by 12/01/10
• Directs state agencies to consider a range of
  scenarios in project planning to reduce risks in
  the interim

• CA Natural Resources Agency coordinates and
