CARB announced a second virtual public workshop to be held Thursday, August 21 from 9:30 am – 12:30 pm Pacific Time to, among other things:
· Draft definitions for determining entities covered by SB 253 (GHG emissions disclosure) and SB 261 (climate risk disclosure), as amended by SB 219, such as “revenue”, “doing business in California”, and “parent-subsidiary” relationships
· Provide updates on the regulatory development timeline and considerations for assurance requirements under the California Corporate Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program
· Take input on proposed minimum reporting requirements related to SB 261
· Discuss phasing in details for Scope 3 emissions in relation to the largest sectors of emissions
Register for virtual attendance here. The Society plans to participate.
The first workshop, which we reported on here, was held on May 29. The Society has been engaging directly with CARB on behalf of our members with the aim of attaining predictable, practical, and cost-effective regulations to implement SB 253 and SB 261.
Note: If you are interested in participating in the Society’s CARB working group and have not already expressed a desire to do so, please contact Randi Morrison.
