"California has been the national leader in taking real steps to protect our environment for future generations," said Wittenberg. "I am pleased with the Governor's strong commitment on this issue. The Governor's goal is laudable, achievable and fundamentally good for California. The companies that participate in this voluntary program are some of the largest in the state. With the Governor's commitment, we expect even more to sign up-and we'll be working with them in the coming months to turn the Governor's pledge into a reality."
"The California Registry builds the tracking and accounting infrastructure for delivering on the Governor's commitment," said Dr. Alan Lloyd, Chairman of the California Registry Board and Secretary of the California Environmental Protection Agency. "We need to measure our greenhouse gas emissions in order to manage them-that is the key element that the Registry provides."
The California Climate Action Registry (CA Registry) is a voluntary greenhouse gas registry that accepts emissions data from state and national entities. The Registry encourages voluntary actions to increase energy efficiency and decrease GHG emissions. The Registry's members include major corporations, government agencies and NGOs. The State of California commits to use its best efforts to ensure that organizations that register emissions results with the CA Registry receive appropriate consideration under any future regulatory scheme.
