About the Program

Each year brings more record-breaking heat to California—and rising temperatures already are affecting water for the state’s communities, farms, and ecosystems. Is California ready for the effects of a warming planet? We gather a panel of experts to envision how the state can best adapt to the changes already underway. Join us for a special lunchtime program.
