The Local Energy Resources Network’s 42nd meeting focused on proposed changes to California’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) in the state budget, highlighting potential impacts on climate initiatives and funding allocations. Participants discussed the importance of the GGRF for local climate programs, the ongoing budget process, and concerns about using the fund for non-greenhouse gas reducing activities. The meeting also covered opportunities for involvement in shaping climate policies, potential reforms to the cap-and-trade program, and the possibility of new legislation to address climate damages.
