Ag Council President Emily Rooney Addresses Global Climate Action Summit
On Friday, September 14, Ag Council President Emily Rooney spoke on a panel at the Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco about how California’s dairy farmers are true global leaders in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Specifically, California dairies have committed to reducing methane emissions by up to 40 percent below 2013 levels by the year 2030.
With support from Governor Jerry Brown, California Department of Food and Agriculture Secretary Karen Ross, as well as members of the California State Legislature, the state has stepped up alongside dairy families to make investments to slash methane emissions and help farmers achieve ambitious state climate goals.
