This law lets the board think about how buying forest land could help cut or store greenhouse gases when deciding which projects get money.

Key Takeaways

  • •The board can consider greenhouse‑gas benefits when ranking forest‑land purchase proposals.
  • •It may use the California Climate Action Registry’s policies, protocols, or other info to judge those benefits.
  • •This consideration is allowed when the board is deciding how to spend its available funds.

Example

A city wants to buy a piece of forest to protect it instead of building a parking lot.

The board can look at data from the California Climate Action Registry to see how much carbon the forest would keep out of the air, and use that info to decide if the purchase should be a top priority.

§ 1356 Forestland Acquisition Climate Benefits

The board, when it prioritizes the use of available funds for proposed acquisitions, with regard to the priority of a proposal to acquire forestland, may consider and take into account the potential of that proposed acquisition to beneficially reduce or sequester greenhouse gas emissions. The board may use policies, protocols, or other relevant information developed by the California Climate Action Registry as a basis for determining a project’s potential to reduce or sequester greenhouse gas emissions.
