Caltrans Sustainability Survey
California has a comprehensive program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prepare for the effects of climate change. This symposium is designed to assist you in continuing the momentum we are making. Our speakers will discuss the science behind the causes of climate change and examine some of the evidence of how the climate is changing. They will conclude with a discussion on what is expected for the future under different scenarios.
The Caltrans Sustainability Program is hosting an event to educate and discuss the science of climate change. The event is scheduled for January 29, 2016, between 10:00 am and 12:00 pm. Those interested can attend in person or watch the live webcast. The recorded webcast will be posted afterwards.
In preparation for this discussion we ask that you complete this quick survey to help identify the areas you are most interested in or where more discussion is needed, to understand Caltrans' role. The results will help create the narrative for the symposium. Take the Survey
