West Coast Governors’ Global Warming
Initiative
• September 2003 announcement by
Governors of Oregon, Washington and
California
• Tri-state effort to address global warming
through both individual and regional actions
• Direction to three Staffs to develop joint
recommendations by September 2004

Reducing Petroleum Dependence
• Recommends a California strategy for
reducing petroleum dependence
• Adopt a goal of reducing on-road petroleum
demand
---to 15 percent below 2003 levels by 2020
---increase non-petroleum fuels to 20 percent
by 2020
• Influence Congress to improve CAFE

Integrated Energy Policy Report
• Require Greenhouse Gas Reporting in
licensing new power plants
• Account for cost of GHG emissions in utility
resource procurement
• Use sustainable energy and environmental
designs in state buildings
• Require state agencies to incorporate climate
change in planning decisions
State Policy Objectives
•
Enhance California’s Building and Appliance
Efficiency Standards beyond 2007
•
Accelerate the Renewable Portfolio Standard
to 2010
•
Encourage use of low-GHG (i.e. low-emitting and
fuel-efficient) vehicles
•
Reduce petroleum dependence
---Double Vehicle Fuel Economy
---Increase non-petroleum fuels
California Climate Change Activities
• Joint Agency Task Force on Climate Change
• External Advisory Committee
• Tri-state planning meetings in June, July
and September 2004
• Climate Change Scientific Research
• AB 1493 regulation package in May 2004
• California Climate Action Registry
