AB 2112: Greenhouse gases: soil carbon sequestration.

<p>The bill amends existing California law by requiring an expert in soil carbon sequestration to be included in an advisory committee established under the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006. It also establishes the Climate-Smart Organics Management for Protecting Our Soil and Terrain (COMPOST) Act, which mandates the Natural Resources Agency to develop a nature-based climate strategy by January 1, 2028. This strategy aims to link waste diversion goals with soil health practices on natural and working lands, focusing on increasing compost production and use to improve vegetation and carbon storage. The bill requires annual updates to this strategy and sets a goal of reducing at least 5 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually.</p>
