California is already experiencing the impacts of climate change. Indigenous peoples are on the frontlines, enduring and adapting to severe droughts, floods, historic wildfires, rising seas, and record temperatures. Building resilience to these impacts requires sustained investment in climate change research and science. Through California’s Fifth Climate Change Assessment and Tribal Research Program, the State is supporting tribally led climate change research initiatives to address this critical need and further support the work already underway in tribal communities. Join staff of the California’s Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LUCI) and Tribal authors to discuss the Fifth Climate Change Assessment and Tribal Research Program advancements, challenges, and hopes for the future.
