The California Climate Action Registry, also known as the California Climate Registry, is a program under the supervision of the Climate Action Reserve.The Registry works to solve the problems caused by climate change through the enhancement of reporting requirements.

They were 20 members of the California Climate Registry when it was originally formed. This figure ballooned to more than 300 members, including CEOs and officials of corporations, universities, government agencies, cities and counties involved in environmental issues. These organizations voluntarily measure, oversee and subsequently report greenhouse gas emissions. This unprecedented collective action works towards finding a solution to our climate change problem.

The California Climate Registry members keenly participate in proactive measures to verify their greenhouse gas emissions. The state of California recognizes their foresight and offers appropriate consideration. When future state, federal or international GHG regulations are brought in, the members foresight will be recognized.

Following a lobby from a group of CEOs, a bill was introduced to the California state legislature and the California Climate Registry was formed. Gov. Gray Davis signed a bill into law on October 13, 2001 to form the structure of the registry.

As climate change goals beyond state borders, the California Climate Registry ceded its duties to the Climate Registry. The California organization will continue to report emissions as a program under the auspices of the Climate Action Reserve.

The Climate Action Reserve will work to ensure environmental benefits, integrity and progressive movement continues in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, policies and reductions. Part of this program, under the umbrella of the Reserve, is the California Climate Registry.

Members of the California Action Registry are actively involved in discovering and introducing market-based solutions for the greenhouse gas problem. The members are also involved in constructing relevant regulations in this ongoing initiative.

Greenhouse gas emission reporting is an increasingly important consideration for those organizations involved in activities that produce such gases. Regulation is forcing these companies to consider their reporting methods and many are turning to software and programs specifically written to assist those gathering the relevant data.
