The California Fifth Climate Change Assessment Team is seeking input from community organizations, experts on the ground, and residents with lived experiences to inform the Statewide Topical Reports. These reports will uplift issues of statewide significance for decisionmakers, focusing on the risks and vulnerabilities Californians face due to climate change and how the state can better adapt and build resilience to the impacts of climate disasters. The workshop will include breakout discussions on housing, health, labor, and education, which will be featured in all four reports.
The Topical Reports include:
- Racial Equity & Climate Justice: The effects of current and projected climate change impacts on racial equity and climate justice in California.
- Climate-Induced Human Displacement & Migration: The effects of current and projected climate change impacts on human displacement and migration in California.
- Climate Impacts to the Economy: The fiscal and economic impacts of current and projected climate change events and trends in California.
- Tribal and Indigenous Communities: The effects of current and projected climate impacts on California Native American Tribes.
Please join the author teams of these reports for a virtual workshop on Thursday, Aug. 7, from 1-2:30 p.m. to gather feedback on the scopes of the reports and uplift the priorities of communities impacted by and working on these issues.
