2 5. Hearings, Comments from the Public: O Shea introduced Jon Rosales, Associate Professor of Environmental Studies at St. Lawrence University. O Shea reported that Dr. Rosales served on the EMC for four years ( ). Rosales reported on the Paris Agreement on climate action ( ) and on significant developments in climate action. Rosales reported that the United Nations began to assess climate change science in the 1980s. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was begun in At the Earth Summit (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), 197 countries, including the U.S., signed the Framework Convention on Climate Change. Its Ultimate Objective was to ensure stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system. ( Anthropogenic means of, relating to, or resulting from the influence of human beings on nature. ) The Framework also established a schedule of annual Conference(s) of Parties. Over time, these COPs have been the sources of important international agreements. For example, the Kyoto Protocols, announced in 1997 (but never signed by the U.S.), committed its Parties by setting internationally binding emission reduction targets. The Protocol placed a heavier burden on developed nations under the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities." The Kyoto Protocol 1 (1995) called for an overall reduction of emissions by 5% between That initial target was met. Kyoto Protocol 2 (2013) called for further reductions by The Durban COP (2011) included a Platform to develop a protocol, another legal instrument or an agreed outcome with legal force under the Convention applicable to all Parties. The target date for this new protocol was 2015, in Paris. The Paris Agreement, announced in 2015, called for a limit on global temperature rise of less than 2º Celsius; it recommended trying to keep global warming to less than 1.5º C. The Agreement called for emissions of greenhouse gases to peak as soon as possible, then to begin to be reduced. Developed and developing countries would have to follow the same Minutes of the EMC Meeting 11/16/16 Page 2

3 regulations, beginning in In addition, each signatory country would be required to develop its own plan for nationally determined contributions (NDCs) by These NDCs would be that country s road map for how it intends to observe the Paris Agreement. Rosales reported that 110 countries have ratified the Paris Agreement ; it is now in force. The U.S. and China both ratified the Paris Agreement in He noted that Climate Tracker ( ) estimates that, if all current pledges for emission reductions are met, the global temperature will still rise by 2.8º C by the year He concluded that More still needs to be done. In answer to questions, Rosales stated that approx. 20% of global warming can be attributed to deforestation activities. He also noted that recent U.S. emission levels have dropped, while emissions from China and India have risen. At 7:20 PM, O Shea called for a brief recess. The meeting re-commenced at 7:25 PM. At this point, EMC Secretary Joe Brant chaired the meeting. A quorum still existed. 6. Approval of the Minutes of the September EMC Meeting: On a motion by Rudiger (Soutar), minutes of the meetings held on October 19, 2016 were approved. 7.

Report of the Staff: Tenbusch reported that: The Planning Office has begun to participate in the Ft. Drum Joint Land Use Study (JLUS). Matilda Larson, who had presented information about her work on the Agricultural Development Plan ( ) to the EMC in October, was recognized by the NYS GIS Association as a GIS Champion. T The certificate from the NYS GIS Association reads (in part): Thanks to Matilda, St. Lawrence County, despite its rural location, is a large user of internet mapping. She exemplifies what it means to be a GIS Champion, continually testing the limits of web-based GIS and encouraging the use of geospatial technology throughout the County. The EMC members in attendance wished to congratulate Matilda on her award. The County has been awarded a Brownfield Opportunity Area (BOA) grant from the NYS Dept. of State to develop a Revitalization Plan for the former GM site in Massena.

4 10. Unfinished Business: Tenbusch reviewed R. Burkum s proposal to establish a new committee to address issues/topics related to the intersection between the environment and the economy. This committee will become operational in 2017; EMC members are asked to consider working on it. 11. New Business: A. Soutar reported that the Watertown Daily Times had recently had an article on a program whereby NYS DEC will work with the County to clean up delinquent parcels. Soutar indicated that the BOL would be involved in determining priorities. He asked if there might/should be a role for the EMC in this process. (See attached for a copy of the article.) Tenbusch will look into this and report at the next EMC meeting, in January. 12. Announcements: None. 13. Message to the Board of Legislators: EMC members were asked to speak to their Legislators about climate change: how international consensus has developed over time concerning the science and concerning the need for every country to work toward reducing its effects. 14.

There was discussion about the just-completed EAB Task Force meeting. - The meeting had included a presentation by Jennifer Dean, NY Natural Heritage Program; she spoke about the imapinvasives Web site and smart-phone application ( ). The meeting had also included a presentation by Erica Barthelmess of SLU re the Web site Nature Up North ( ) - As had been discussed at the EAB TF meeting, the Task Force is looking for some method to enable Citizen Scientists to record observations about ash trees, in order to develop maps and datasets for presence of ash trees in SLC communities. P. Whalen expressed frustration that, after 20 years of EAB being record in the U.S. and with infestations spread to 22 states, there is STILL no common set of tools/methodology to inform/assist communities working on EAB. After some discussion about this shared level of frustration, the Committee agreed to invite the NYS EAB Task Force to speak at an upcoming mtg (either EAB TF; or I.S.Comm, or EMC mtg) about finding or developing tools that will assist local people to work on EAB issues. Item 2: Other Items. o It was suggested that the I.S.Comm or the EMC or the EAB TF put on a one-day conference on the topic. Tenbusch will inquire whether this could be made a track at the Local Government Conference. Walk-Through at Indian Creek Nature Center. O Shea proposed that the EMC take a field trip to Indian Creek Nature Center in early to mid- June He stated that there are at least 8 common invasive species on site. - O Shea felt that such a field trip should be scheduled to start at noon; it would take most/all of an afternoon. The Committee discussed whether this field trip should be scheduled in conjunction with an EMC meeting. - Rau suggested that the event be opened to other members of the public. - A rain date would be advisable.
