Climate Resilience. The ability to anticipate, prepare for, and adapt to changing conditions and withstand, respond to, and recover rapidly from climate related disruptions, challenges, and risks through adaptability, innovation, and preparedness.

Climate Resilience. The budget includes $125 million for the Regional Resilience Grant Program under the Integrated Climate Adaptation and Resiliency Program (ICARP). This funding will be used to support regional climate resilience planning and implementation to reduce the risk of climate change impacts such as wildfire, sea level rise, drought, flood, increasing temperatures, and extreme heat events. Extreme Heat The budget includes $25 million, one-time, to provide grants to communities seeking to build or upgrade existing facilities to serve as community resilience centers that mitigate the public health impacts of extreme heat and other emergency situations exacerbated by climate change. Cooling centers, fairground upgrades, and other public buildings are eligible for this funding. The budget also makes available $150 million for investments to support adaption and reliance to extreme heat. Coastal Protection and Sea Level Rise The budget allocates $80 million from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund for the State Coastal Conservancy. This will be used for the Climate Ready Program to fund nature-based projects to address sea level rise. California Climate Information System The budget includes initial planning and development ($16.4 million) in support of the California Climate Information System (CalCIS). The goal of CalCIS is the integration and analysis of the most current climate monitoring data to provide information and decision-making tools for all entities that are working on the climate crisis. The proposed funding would establish a central hub for climate data from local, state, federal, and state’s climate work and future state investments.
Climate Resilience. The ability of a system and its components to anticipate, absorb, accommodate or recover from the effects of a hazardous event in a timely and efficient manner. This includes ensuring the preservation, restoration or improvement of the system’s essential basic structures and functions (IPCC 2012).
Climate Resilience a process aimed at preventing the vulnerability of infrastructure to the potential long-term effects of climate change, while ensuring compliance with the principle of "energy efficiency first" and compliance of the level of greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the Project with the goal of achieving climate neutrality in 2050;
Climate Resilience. Sharing best practices to promote nature based solutions, including restoration and enhancement of river ecosystems, wetland restoration and living shorelines, particularly in areas dealing with land subsidence, sea level rise, and/or enhanced flood risk; • Exchanging information to build resilience in cities and climate- vulnerable communities; and • Sharing lessons learned to improve community resilience to extreme heat risks.
