1 INTRODUCTION California Legislative Framework The State of California is the 15th largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world, ultimately accounting for 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions. However, the State has been proactive in working to reduce emissions and has a long history of proven leadership in addressing energy and climate issues spanning the last 40 years. In 1988, Assembly Bill (AB) 4420 (Sher, Chapter 1506, Statutes of 1988) designated the California Energy Commission (CEC) as the lead agency for climate change issues in California. Since that time, there have been numerous initiatives in California to address climate change and energy efficiency, with the majority of legislation passed between 2000 and now. These initiatives have strengthened the ability of entities in California to engage in accurate data collection and have created ambitious targets and regulations that will directly lead to reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Not only have California’s efforts earned it a role as the leader in the United States for climate planning strategies, but the State has received world attention and accolades for its efforts. California legislation related to climate change includes Executive Order S-3-05, Assembly Bill 32, and Senate Bill (SB) 375, which direct the State and other local agencies to reduce GHG emissions. These orders and laws are summarized below. In addition to Executive Order S-3-05, AB 32, and SB 375, the State has enacted legislation and policy initiatives related to climate change, transportation and vehicle efficiencies, energy, water, and solid waste. A summary of recent state efforts by topic is provided in Figure 5, with a more detailed discussion of recent climate change legislation provided below.

1 Governor’s Executive Order S-3-05 Executive Order S-3-05 establishes the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) as the agency responsible for coordinating the State’s effort to achieve the (nonbinding) progressive greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets outlined in the executive order for the state: By 2010, reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 2000 levels; By 2020, reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels; Draft By 2050, reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 80% below 1990 levels. AB 32 – California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 Assembly Bill 32, known as the California Global Warming Solutions Act, was approved by the legislature and signed by Governor Schwarzenegger in 2006. The landmark legislation requires the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to develop regulatory and market mechanisms that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. Mandatory actions under the legislation to be completed by CARB include: Identification of early action items that can be quickly implemented to achieve greenhouse gas reductions. These early action items were adopted by CARB in 2007 and include regulations affecting landfill operations, motor vehicle fuels, car refrigerants, and port operations, among other regulations. Development of a scoping plan to identify the most technologically feasible and cost-effective measures to achieve the necessary emissions reductions to reach 1990 levels by 2020. The scoping plan employs a variety of GHG reduction measures that include direct regulations, alternative compliance mechanisms, incentives, voluntary actions, and market-based approaches like a cap-and-trade program. The plan identifies local governments as strategic partners to achieving the state goal and translates the reduction goal to a 15% reduction of current emissions by 2020. Creation and adoption of regulations to require the state’s largest industrial emitters of greenhouse gases to report and verify their greenhouse gas emissions on an annual basis. SB 375 – Sustainable Communities & <strong>Climate</strong> Protection Act of 2008 Senate Bill 375 builds off of AB 32 and aims to reduce GHG emissions by linking transportation funding to land use planning. It requires metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) to create a Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) in their regional transportation plans (RTPs) for the purpose of reducing urban sprawl. The SCS will demonstrate how the region will achieve the greenhouse gas emissions reduction target set by CARB for 2020 and 2035. INTRODUCTION CITY OF SUNNYVALE CLIMATE ACTION PLAN 1-15
