[StAmand, Paige (DEM)]

The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management's Office of Air Resources (OAR) is announcing the inclusion of Land Use, Land Use Change, and Forestry (LULUCF) in all new annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventories. The addition of LULUCF allows for a more accurate comparison to the state's 1990 baseline, which is used to assess compliance with the 2021 Act on Climate<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://webserver.rilin.state.ri.us/Statutes/TITLE42/42-6.2/INDEX.HTM__;!!KKphUJtCzQ!NfS8Iwt-A1941orBYFCeKuGBdCD4Xu1M6_M4EvWCgYxqj3PAnjTmqdMvsYeq0zh7exCEJ_kwgnfePRtIp_7RvUuPT57On3HQztf7$  [webserver[.]rilin[.]state[.]ri[.]us]>. Additionally, Rhode Island cannot achieve net-zero emissions in 2050 without accounting carbon sequestration.
