I would like my Assemblymember to support $400 million for natural and working lands climate investments. I support Assemblymember Garcia\u2019s proposal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Find your Assemblymember<a href=\"http:\/\/findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>(<\/b>SACRAMENTO, CA) \u2014 Assemblymember Eduardo Garcia (D-Coachella), Chair of the Joint Legislative Committee on Climate Change Policies and about a dozen other California legislators submitted a letter requesting that critical natural resources programs receive funding in this year\u2019s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) budget allocations. Earlier today, they were joined by several advocacy groups to announce their list of priorities for the 2018-2019 GGRF Expenditure Plan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFollowing the success of our work with AB 398 (E. Garcia), which extended our state\u2019s cap-and- trade program, it is essential that the legislature continues to ensure the equitable appropriation of these revenues into programs proven to provide significant health, environmental and economic benefits. I have made it a point to follow these Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund dollars through the budgeting process, until we see these investments allocated and at work advancing California communities, like those in my district, most impacted by pollution,\u201d stated Assemblymember Eduardo Garcia.<\/p>\n<p>The 2017-2018 expenditure plan for GGRF adopted in August 2017 appropriated $1.521 billion. That appropriation was made when only $811 million was technically in the GGRF account, and relied on estimates of auction revenue for the rest of the 2017-2018 auctions to fulfill the remainder of the expenditure plan. Auctions conducted since the expenditure plan was adopted have performed better than expected, resulting in an approximate surplus of $450 million for the 2017-2018 fiscal year.<\/p>\n<p>The letter submitted to Budget subcommittee Chair Bloom requests that the Legislature appropriates $400 million from the GGRF for the following programs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Urban Forestry Program under Cal Fire<\/li>\n<li>Urban Greening Program under the California Natural Resources Agency<\/li>\n<li>State Water Efficiency and Enhancement Program (SWEEP) under the California \u2028Department of Food and Agriculture<\/li>\n<li>Healthy Soils Program under the California Department of Food and Agriculture<\/li>\n<li>Wetlands and Watershed Restoration Program under the California Department of Fish \u2028and Wildlife<\/li>\n<li>Climate Adaptation and Resiliency Programs under the Wildlife Conservation Board, California State Coastal Conservancy, California Coastal Commission, and San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These programs had previously been funded by GGRF but had not been included or were not fully represented in the current proposal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGreening our communities is essential to the health, wellness, and safety of Californian children and families. The Urban Greening program transforms local infrastructure to clean our air and water, create safe places for kids to play outside, and protect neighborhoods from severe weather events,\u201d said Mary Creasman, California Director of Government Affairs for The Trust for Public Land. \u201cCommunities all over the state are feeling the impacts of fires and flood, particularly in low-income areas and communities of color. California should increase these programs, not cut them. We are committed to working with the Legislature to restore funds for these critical programs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We can plan for a climate resilient future by funding natural resources programs with the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund,&#8221; said Assemblymember Marc Levine (D-Marin County). &#8220;Continued investment is the best way to sequester carbon, reduce GHG emissions, and fight climate change while realizing economic benefits for California.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Assemblymember Garcia maintains that, \u201cThese climate investment tools wield immense power to transform our most vulnerable populations. Green infrastructure, like that supported through the Urban Greening and Urban Forestry grant programs, is a critical component of creating healthy and resilient communities. Last year, we were able to utilize a collective $4 million of these cap-and-trade dollars to break ground and set out to construct new local park projects in North Shore and El Centro. Creating green space, safe recreational opportunities where there was none.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImperial County agriculture contributes more than $4.5 billion to the local economy. Likewise, the economies of the Coachella Valley and Blythe are also predominantly driven by this industry. Farmers rank amongst our state\u2019s largest employers. For these reasons, we have been vehemently advocating for additional investments into resources like the State Water Efficiency and Enhancement Program (SWEEP). Upon our encouragement, several local farmers have already been able to take advantage of this assistance. In fact, this week, Ronald C. Leimgruber Farms will be celebrating the completion of an energy efficient conservation project that was supported by SWEEP funding,\u201d commented Garcia. \u201cBy keeping these programs alive, we can help our vital agricultural industries meet our emission reduction targets while cleaning our air and improving our region\u2019s overall health and prosperity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cComing from the world\u2019s leading region for sustainable agriculture practices, I\u2019m proud to join this effort to fund the state\u2019s environmentally responsible agriculture and forestry programs, said Assemblymember Cecilia Aguiar-Curry (D-Winters). \u201cWe must do a better job of providing incentives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, runoff, and the use of water and soil additives in rural California. This initiative will help us protect our land and water.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jeanne Merrill, Policy Director with the California Climate and Agriculture Network added, \u201cTurning our farms into carbon sinks is not only good for our climate, but good for the bottom line. The high demand for the Climate Smart Agriculture programs demonstrates that. Mr. Garcia&#8217;s proposal today acknowledges the importance of California farms and ranches in meeting our climate change goals.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>California ReLeaf Executive Director Cindy Blain noted, \u201cAssembly Member Eduardo Garcia\u2019s recognition of the critical role all natural resources &#8212; including community trees and green infrastructure &#8212; contribute to meeting the State\u2019s GHG reduction goals and creating safer, healthier communities is reflected in this bold proposal. We applaud his vision and leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Eduardo Garcia, Assemblymembers Aguiar-Curry (D-Winters), Arambula (D- Fresno), Caballero (D-Salinas), Friedman (D-Glendale), Kalra (D-San Jose), Levine (D-Marin County), McCarty (D-Sacramento), Rubio (D-Baldwin Park), Stone (D-Monterey Bay), Talamantes Eggman (D-Stockton) and Wood (D-Healdsburg) signed on in support of this venture.<\/p>\n<p>###<\/p>\n<p>Assemblymember Eduardo Garcia (D-Coachella) serves as the chairperson of the Assembly Committee on Water, Parks and Wildlife. He represents the 56th district, which comprises the cities and communities of Blythe, Brawley, Bermuda Dunes, Calexico, Calipatria, Cathedral City, Coachella, Desert Hot Springs, El Centro, Holtville, Imperial, Indio, Mecca, Oasis, North Shore, Salton Sea, Thermal, Thousand Palms, and Westmorland.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What They Are Saying About It\/Additional Stakeholder Statements: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Michelle Passero, The Nature Conservancy<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCalifornia cannot meet its climate goals without improved management and protection of our forests, farms, ranches, wetlands, and coastlines. Meaningful investments in these resources, will not only help us address climate change, but will also help urban and rural communities thrive and be more resilient in response to changing climate conditions and extreme weather events.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sarah Rose, Executive Director, Audubon California<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Golden State\u2019s natural and working lands are vital to our collective identity as Californians, and they\u2019re also a key part of our strategy to address climate change. This proposed investment in wetlands, working farms, forests, and urban greenery will not only have immediate benefits for our people and our economy, but it will also provide greater resiliency as our climate changes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Laurie Wayburn, President, The Pacific Forest Trust<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRestoring and conserving our natural and working lands is essential to solving the climate crisis, and creating a resilient future. These investments help safeguard our water, protect our California heritage and ensure recreation for future generations. We fully endorse Mr. Garcia\u2019s leadership in this critical effort.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CalCAN recently joined with Assemblymember Eduardo Garcia, chair of the Joint Committee on Climate Change Policies, to support his proposal to&#8230;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"mc4wp_mailchimp_campaign":[],"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[680],"tags":[15,334,349],"class_list":["post-8999","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-policy","tag-cap-and-trade","tag-ggrf","tag-natural-and-working-lands"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Assemblymember Garcia and Other Legislators Request Reinstatement of Climate Funding for Critical Natural Resources Programs | CalCAN - California Climate &amp;
