An update of the 2009 California Climate Adaptation Strategy from California’s Resource Agency.

As climate change shifts from a far-off concern to a present-day crisis, Californians are most vulnerable precisely where we’re most fortunate. Rising seas and gathering storms threaten our justly famous coastlands, home to most of our population. Heat waves and droughts pressure farms and ranches that are among the most productive in the world. And our magnificent forests are at greater risk from wildfires that worsen in warmer weather…we are planning and preparing for the unavoidable risks of climate change.
