“Local governments are essential partners in achieving California’s greenhouse gas reduction goals.”

“…ARB encourages local governments to adopt a reduction goal for municipal operations emissions and move toward establishing similar goals for community emissions that parallels the State commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 15 percent from current levels by 2020.”

-- AB 32 Scoping Plan Adopted December 2008 by the California Air Resources Board
