KEYNOTE PANEL: IS CAP-AND-TRADE WORKING FOR CALIFORNIA?

Our keynote panel brings together top experts from diverse – and even conflicting – points of view for a mature and in-depth discussion of the cap-and-trade program.

Is it accomplishing what its creators and proponents intended?

Who’s paying how much?

How can Southern California get its fair share of the funds?

Is this really the answer to Affordable Housing, Drought, and High Speed Rail funding?

Is this a permanent new revenue source? Or a short-term opportunity?

Ellah Ronen Program Administrator, LA n Sync, Annenberg Foundation	Richard Stapler Deputy Secretary for Communications, CA Natural Resources Agency	Andrew Cheung Cap and Trade Program Manager, Southern California Gas Company

PRESENTATION / Q&A: WHAT IS CAP-AND-TRADE, ANYWAY?

Dennis Luna, Managing Partner, Luna & Glushon
Be honest. Do you really understand what California’s cap-and-trade program is and how it works? After this presentation and discussion, you will! Aside from being a civic leader in Los Angeles, Dennis Luna is one of the top energy and real estate attorneys in California and one of the very few attorneys who holds a Masters in Petroleum Engineering, bringing a unique perspective to any energy matter. He’s a cap-and-trade expert. We can’t promise he’ll make you one too, but you won’t want to miss this presentation.

PRESENTATION / Q&A: WHERE DOES ALL THAT MONEY GO?

Colleen Callahan, Deputy Director, UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation
Will California really get $1 billion in new revenue from cap-and-trade? How will all that money be spent? Colleen Callahan directs and communicates results from research projects on climate action, clean transportation, and more. She’s a top expert on the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund – the fund created by the cap-and-trade program to pay for urgent priorities like affordable housing, transportation, and more. This presentation will illuminate where all of that cap-and-trade money is going and how it’s getting there.
