(October 29, 2009) The interplay between California’s landmark climate change law, AB 32, and federal policy efforts will be among the subjects to be discussed at a strategic issues conference on November 5–6.

The Napa Valley policy gathering for business leaders is co-sponsored by several major industry groups, including the California Chamber of Commerce.

Agenda topics include green jobs and the economics of climate change; state and federal actions on greenhouse gas laws; and implementation of the nation’s first law connecting land use to climate change (SB 375).

A special guest speaker will be Joel Kotkin, author and lecturer on global, economic, political and social trends. His most recent of six books is The City: A Global History.
