City of San Diego, California: Climate Resilience SD

December 14, 2021

On December 14, 2021, the City Council of San Diego, California adopted the city’s first comprehensive resilience and climate adaptation plan entitled Climate Resilient SD. The plan lays out a framework to address climate change impacts by identifying the four primary climate change-related hazards affecting the city — extreme heat, extreme rainfall or drought, wildfires and sea-level — and providing a set of goals, policies, and strategies to offset these hazards. The plan, which focuses on adaptation, is a new addition to previous city plans that only dealt with climate mitigation.

Critical Infrastructure at Risk: Sea Level Rise Planning Guidance for California’s Coastal Zone

August 2021

In August 2021, the California Coastal Commission (CCC), one of California’s three coastal management agencies, issued the Critical Infrastructure at Risk: Sea Level Rise Planning Guidance for California’s Coastal Zone. The guidance serves as an advisory document for the state and local governments, asset managers, and stakeholders in California to update plans and policies for critical transportation and water infrastructure to adapt to sea-level rise and flooding.  The guidance is based on different studies held to be the best available science on sea-level rise in California, which includes a projection of a 6-10 feet of sea-level rise by 2100.

American Forests

 American Forests, the oldest national nonprofit conservation organization in the country, advocates for the protection and expansion of America’s forests.   This advocacy, guided by science, is to keep policymakers informed about how trees interact with climate, sequester carbon, manage water, and benefit cities - acknowledging that ecological services from trees and forests have real economic value. American Forests works in and advocates for federal, state, and urban forests, and sometimes beyond US borders as well.
