Climate change is a challenging new and rapidly changing field for planners. Since emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) are a contributing factor, typically a climate change analysis is relegated to being included in air quality sections of a CEQA/NEPA document. However, with the California Office of Planning and Research proposing a separate section in Appendix G – Initial Study Checklist for greenhouse gases and the non-air quality effects from climate change on the project, a separate section/chapter for climate change may be more appropriate.
This class is structured to provide a solid working knowledge of climate change for developing a thorough CEQA/NEPA level analysis of a project’s effects on climate change, mostly through emissions of GHGs, and climate change’s potential effects on the project.
Registration: $445/$345* earlybird rate for registrations received by October 30 ($495/$395 thereafter)
