Workshop on the Draft Cap-and-Trade Auction Proceeds Fourth Investment Plan
Categories
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) invites you to participate in virtual public workshop to discuss the Draft Cap-and-Trade Auction Proceeds Fourth Investment Plan (Fourth Investment Plan). Every three years, the Department of Finance, in consultation with CARB and other State agencies, submits an Investment Plan to the Legislature to guide the investment of Cap-and-Trade auction proceeds. The Fourth Investment Plan will cover Fiscal Years 2022-23 through 2024-25 and is due to the Legislature in January 2022. Priority investment types identified in the Investment Plan do not guarantee funding but rather provide recommendations to the Legislature on potential funding opportunities to consider. The upcoming workshop provides the public with an opportunity to learn more about and share input on the Draft Fourth Investment Plan, which will be released for public comment prior to the workshop. The workshop will be held via Zoom webinar at the following date and time:
Date: September 2, 2021
Time: 2:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Location: Virtual Workshop
The Draft Fourth Investment Plan, workshop presentation, and any additional supporting materials will be posted to the Investment Plan webpage prior to the workshop. This webpage also contains more information about the Investment Plan as well as an event flyer.
