AB 1757 (C. Garcia, Stats. 2022, ch. 341) is a bill signed into law in 2022 and goes into effect January 1, 2023. It calls for the Natural Resources Agency, in collaboration with specified entities including CARB and an expert advisory committee, to determine on or before January 1, 2024, an ambitious range of targets for natural carbon sequestration, and for nature-based climate solutions, that reduce greenhouse gas emissions for 2030, 2038, and 2045 to support State goals to achieve carbon neutrality and foster climate adaptation and resilience. The bill would require these targets to be integrated into the AB 32 Climate Change Scoping Plan and other State policies.
