UCLA brought politicians, business leaders and researchers to campus for a March 6 conference exploring how they will meet aggressive requirements to cut greenhouse gas emissions. The California Air Resources Board recently developed a scoping plan for implementing Assembly Bill 32, which requires steep reductions in carbon emissions by 2020. Cities, companies and universities are among the agencies that will have to slash their gas emissions.
"UCLA is already demonstrating ways to reduce traffic emissions, to make its buildings more efficient and re-landscaping with drought-tolerant plants," said Nichols, a professor-in-residence at the UCLA School of Law. "There's just a whole series of things being done to make the campus itself more efficient. As one of the world's great research institutions, UCLA is also in a position to bring together some of the best scientists and policy thinkers in the world to develop new solutions. There are people right now working in laboratories to find algae that are going to be the fuel of the future."
