“The CNRA is holding this meeting to discuss preparing for climate risks and the proposed update to the 2009 California Climate Adaptation Strategy. This meeting is a public forum to provide input into updating the state’s plan for preparing for climate risks. The meeting is open to the public and full participation by all parties is encouraged.

 

Pursuant to Executive Order S-13-08, the California Natural Resources Agency, working with partners and stakeholders, developed the 2009 California Climate Adaptation Strategy. The 2009 California Climate Adaptation Strategy was one of the nation’s first multi-sectoral plans to prepare for risks presented by climate change. Scientific research generated by the state’s climate change assessment program has indicated that preparing for risks such as wildfire, flooding and extreme heat can save lives, build more resilient communities, and substantially reduce the risk of economic losses.

 

In 2012, the state completed a major climate change assessment that provided additional new scientific information about climate risks in California. The 2012 climate change assessment included over thirty peer-reviewed papers on a wide variety of topics including, for example, expected impacts to water and public health.

 

The 2009 California Climate Adaptation Strategy is being updated to incorporate new information and advances in climate science and management responses, and to highlight additional opportunities for preparing for climate risks and building more resilient communities.”
