Citizens' Climate Lobby's GREENHOUSE GAS REMOVAL ACTION TEAM Meeting with California State Senator Josh Becker, Ken Branson, and Chris Neidl
Our main speaker, California Senator Josh Becker, will be discussing SB 308, the Carbon Dioxide Removal Market Development Act, a groundbreaking climate bill he introduced in 2023 that will do the following:
Establish binding annual Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) targets that are in alignment with California's 2045 Net Zero objectives.
Create technology-neutral rules that will ensure that any carbon removals are measurable, verifiable and of the highest quality in long-term permanence
Ensure safety and maximum community benefit
Senator Becker is a public policy innovator working at the nexus of community activism, technology and social justice. He is the author of several bills focused on accelerating California’s transition to 100% clean energy and net zero emissions, voter access and justice reforms, and leveraging technology to provide greater economic mobility for all Californians.
In addition to Senator Becker...
... two other experts on SB 308 and climate legislation will participate in a panel discussion about the bill.
Ken Branson, Senior Policy Advisor for Climate, Energy, and Environmental Issues for California State Senator Josh Becker.
