Dear friends,
The California Natural Resources Agency, the Ocean Protection Council, and the Ocean Science Trust wish to invite you to participate in an upcoming Safeguarding California and Sea-Level Rise Guidance Document Workshop. Bay Area Safeguarding California & State Sea-level Rise Guidance Document Workshop Monday, May 22, from 9:30am to 5:00pm 455 Golden Gate Ave San Francisco, CA 94102
The Safeguarding California Plan: 2017 Update – California’s Climate Adaptation Strategy builds on nearly a decade of adaptation strategies, which includes the 2009 California Adaptation Strategy and the 2014 Safeguarding California. How we manage our water, grow our food, transport our goods, and live our daily lives has been built around the climate and weather we experience. We use a number of words, including adaptation, resilience, readiness, and safeguarding, to describe a simple concept: ensuring that people, communities, and natural systems are able to withstand the impacts of climate disruption. The Safeguarding California Plan: 2017 Update is intended to communicate a clear accounting of current and needed actions state government should take to build climate change resiliency. We invite the public to provide input to this 2017 update the through these public workshops or directly to the Natural Resources Agency at climate@resources.ca.gov.
By drawing upon reliable, time-tested strategies today, tailored to what we learn from our communities across the state, we can increase resilience to the effects of climate change and mitigate the harmful impacts to future generations. Your experience and expertise would make your perspective invaluable to our workshop, so we invite you to be part of this cooperation. We would like you to confirm your participation by contacting us at safeguardingCA@climateresolve.org. We hope to see you there.
The California Ocean Protection Council and California Ocean Science Trust, with support from the Engagement Team, invites you to participate and provide input on the framework (outline and basic components) for the updated draft policy guidance document. This framework was developed on the basis of initial input received from ca. 30 interviews and 5 listening sessions (online focus groups). The Policy Advisory Committee, comprised of the California Ocean Protection Council and California Natural Resources Agency, the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research and the California Energy Commission, will use input from this Bay Area workshop - as well as similar workshops in southern ad northern California - to prepare the draft guidance update. This draft will then be circulated for formal public comment in the fall of 2017, with final adoption by the California Ocean Protection Council scheduled for January 2018.
