2009 California Climate Adaptation Strategy

The 2009 California Climate Adaptation Strategy Discussion Draft Report, which was written over the last year by the Natural Resources Agency in cooperation with four other state agencies -- the California Environmental Protection Agency, the Business, Transportation and Housing Agency, the Health and Human Services Agency, and the Department of Food and Agriculture -- and other state departments and commissions in response to Gov. Schwarzenegger's Executive Order S-13-08 from November 2008.

The 2009 California Climate Adaptation Strategy Discussion Draft Report summarizes the latest science on how climate change could impact California, and provides recommendations for state government on how to manage against those threats organized into seven sector areas. The Draft Report's release will set in motion a 45-day public comment period that will include public comment sessions to be held Aug. 13 in Sacramento and Aug. 26 in Los Angeles.

Complete details on the strategy and the public comment sessions will be available on Monday, August 3, 2009. Visit www.resources.ca.gov or www.climatechange.ca.gov for more information
