SUMMARY:Zero Emissions Vehicle (ZEV) Mandates Workshop: Research for Effective\, Efficient\, and Equitable Policy Implementation
DESCRIPTION:California and New York recently adopted the Advanced Clean Cars II rule\, requiring all new light-duty vehicle sales to be electric by 2035\, and the Advanced Clean Trucks rule\, which requires a ramping up of medium- and heavy-duty electric vehicle sales to 75 percent by 2035. Achieving and requiring such a rapid transition to an electric transportation sector raises a number of questions\, such as: \n\nWhat will happen to the used gasoline vehicle market\, new vehicle sales (both electric and gasoline)\, and vehicle imports?\nHow can we ensure that this transition will be equitable?\nWhat is the optimal pathway for charging station investments?\nHow will this expansion of new ZEV sales affect the electricity sector\, and what rules and regulations within the electric sector can help support this transition?\n\nThere are multiple avenues to explore and lots of new research that can be done in this space to help the states effectively\, efficiently\, and equitably achieve their ZEV goals. To that end\, we will host a two-half day virtual workshop with leading researchers and policymakers in the ZEV space to examine the state of research on zero-emission transportation\, identify new researchable questions\, and explore the data still needed to answer these questions. Following the workshop\, we will create a written communication summarizing the findings from the workshop and laying out a new research agenda related to the ZEV mandate. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:How California Can Improve Water Right Curtailment to Better Manage Water Scarcity
DESCRIPTION:Droughts are becoming more frequent and intense in California\, and many watersheds experience seasonal water scarcity nearly every year. To protect water rights\, human health and safety\, and the environment from serious harm\, California’s State Water Resources Control Board needs to be able to routinely curtail unlawful water uses. However\, the agency has struggled to carry out this basic function\, running into resource constraints and technical\, legal\, and political barriers. In our April report\, Managing Water Scarcity: A Framework for Fair and Effective Water Right Curtailment in California\, CLEE described the legal context for and history of curtailments in California and recommended concrete actions the State Water Board and Legislature can take to build a framework for fair and effective curtailment in California. The Legislature is considering bills that partially address some of our recommendations\, but our research suggests more comprehensive action is needed\, and soon.   \nJoin two of the report’s authors for a free lunchtime policy briefing and Q&A on this important topic. \nREGISTER HERE \nFor questions\, please contact maia.baltzley@berkeley.edu.

SUMMARY:Clean Power and Clean Vehicles
DESCRIPTION:On May 11th\, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed urgently needed limits on carbon emissions from power plants that burn coal and gas\, targeting the source of about a third of U.S. carbon pollution—or a quarter of total greenhouse gas emissions. \nOn April 12th\, the EPA proposed rules to cut carbon emissions from cars and trucks\, which are still the nation’s No. 1 source of greenhouse gas emissions. These standards\, like the power plant rules\, complement the incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act that make it cheaper and easier to cut these dangerous emissions. These rules will also send a strong market signal for growing our clean economy. \nPlease join E2 to hear from two EPA Deputy Administrators Alejandra Nunez and Tomás Elias Carbonell about these critical rules and the important steps we can take to confront the climate crisis. NRDC Senior Strategic Director\, David Doniger\, will follow with a behind the scenes look at these rules\, how they fit into the Clean Air Act and the importance of advocating for strong final rules. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Opportunities for Enhanced Near-term U.S.-China Climate Action: Reducing Methane Emissions in the U.S. and China
DESCRIPTION:As two of the largest global economies and energy consumers\, China and the U.S. are also the top and third largest methane emitters\, respectively. Both nations have significant opportunities to reduce their methane emissions over the next decade\, with some methods of reduction having low or no costs associated. In the U.S.\, it’s estimated that a total reduction potential of 224 million metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (Mt CO₂e) can be achieved through abatement measures costing $100/t CO₂e or less by 2030. Meanwhile\, in China\, the potential for methane reduction is predicted to reach 469 Mt CO₂e in 2030\, which is equivalent to a 35% decrease from 2015 levels. Join us to hear from issue-experts\, sharing insights from a new report\, Reducing Methane Emissions in the U.S. and China. \nRegistration is free\, but required. Register here.

SUMMARY:Decarbonizing the Future: Direct Air Capture and other Carbon Management Technologies
DESCRIPTION:Along with deep decarbonization across all sectors of the economy\, carbon removal is essential to getting to net-zero emissions by mid-century. This will require both natural and technological means of removal\, such as enhanced carbon uptake from forests\, adjusted agricultural practices\, and large-scale deployment of DAC with sequestration. This event will serve to give a high-level overview of those topics in an effort to increase awareness of and support for direct air capture and other carbon management technologies. \nREGISTER HERE
