The Sustainability Initiative is bringing together people interested in exploring the role UC Irvine could play in convening or supporting a regional climate resilience collaborative.
A regional climate resilience collaborative is a group of diverse public, private, and/or non-profit entities representing a region and committed to preparing that region for the emerging impacts of climate change (e.g., sea level rise, extreme storm events, food scarcity, wildfires, heat waves, and droughts).
In the statewide network, there is currently no existing climate collaborative directly covering Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, or Imperial Counties, the sites of significant research and engagement programs of many faculty members from across the UC Irvine schools. These are also the sites of significant work by local governmental and non-governmental groups that address various aspects of climate impact.
