A second bill would require annual reporting of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by a covered firm’s operations. It would require standardized reporting of GHG emissions (primarily carbon dioxide and methane) by firms doing business in California with total annual revenues more than $1 billion. [19]

Worldwide, nature’s power to breathe, filter and store carbon dioxide can provide more than 1/3 of emissions reductions needed to meet the Paris Agreement target, according to a pioneering study by The Nature Conservancy and partners. Trees capture and store carbon dioxide (CO2) through the process of photosynthesis.
