New Report Addresses Climate Adaptation Actions in San Diego Region
A new report, "San Diego, 2050 Is Calling. How Will We Answer?" outlines a practical, solutions-oriented approach to climate-related issues in the San Diego region, including potential impacts to water supplies.
The report, created by Climate Education Partners and its partner organization, The San Diego Foundation, with funding from the National Science Foundation, connects climate science with local examples and opportunities for leaders to address climate change. Featured leaders include Water Authority General Manager Maureen Stapleton.
"We recognize that climate change could have substantial impacts on the reliability of our region's water supply, and we have incorporated adaptation strategies into our region's long-term water management plan," Stapleton said.
The report includes many other regional leaders who are addressing climate change. These leaders represent a wide range of organizations in San Diego, including the County of San Diego, the Port of San Diego, San Diego County Farm Bureau, the Navy, CAL FIRE, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, local governments, businesses, and non-profits.
