The California Air Resources Board is the State's lead climate mitigation agency.: The Lands and Climate Science Section (LCSS) of the Research Division (RD) conducts comprehensive research to assess the direct and indirect interactions between air quality, climate, and Natural and Working Lands (NWL). The research informs the policy decisions related to Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use (AFOLU) mitigation strategies focused on reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across California while providing benefits to local and regional air quality.
