The California Natural Resources Agency, working through the Climate Action Team (CAT), is developing the 2012 Climate Adaptation Strategy. This resource will outline proactive steps to take now to protect public health and safety, infrastructure and the economy, and California’s unique natural environment in the face of climate change. The 2012 Climate Adaptation Strategy will include chapters on agriculture, biodiversity, forestry, land use and infrastructure, public health, transportation, energy, emergency preparedness, fresh water, and ocean and coastal resources but will also highlight various cross-cutting recommendations geared toward reducing risk and investing in a climate safe California. This forthcoming resource will be an update to the 2009 Climate Adaptation Strategy.
