​On Friday, March 6, 2009, the day-long symposium at UCLA focused on the response of government, industry and communities in the L.A. region to the new AB 32 scoping plan and coming climate change regulations. Participants explored the specific responses of the region and laid the groundwork for future collaborative initiatives and research that will help all of us in Los Angeles reduce our carbon footprint. Mary Nichols, Chair of the California Air Resources Board, and Fran Pavley, State Senator & Author of AB 32, gave keynote addresses.
