The ports of Los Angeles (Port of L.A.) and Long Beach (PoLB) Thursday announced they will host a joint community workshop on January 24 in order to receive input on proposed updates to its Clean Air Action Plan (CAAP), which was released late last year.

As Ship & Bunker reported in November, the ports' Discussion Document is noted to prioritise the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from port-related sources to 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050 - a target noted to align with the state of California's clean air goals under its Sustainable Freight Action Plan.

The workshop, which is open to the public, will be held from 6-8 p.m. on January 24, at Banning's Landing Community Center in Wilmington.

The review period for the draft CAAP 2017 Discussion Document extends through to February 17, 2017.

In November, Port of L.A. and PoLB hailed the Discussion Document as a "bold" new plan toward a zero emissions future.
