California is made up of diverse regions with different economies, geographies, and cultures. This means each of these regions experience climate change impacts and opportunities in unique ways. The state supports a “regions-up” approach which recognizes the importance of regional- and local-scale adaptation planning and action. This Strategy aims to include space for regional leadership and identify when and how the state can best support regional action.
The regional summaries of climate impacts below draw on the Regional and Technical Reports of California’s Fourth Climate Change Assessment. These summaries were updated based on input received during California’s Fifth Climate Change Assessment engagement and scoping process and other regionally relevant resources.
