Description

This white paper examines California's Urban-Rural connections to identify policy opportunities, strategies to develop and deepen collaborative efforts, and on-the-ground solutions to enhance ecosystem resilience. The report begins by highlighting the Sierra Nevada Region's ecosystem benefits (page 4), before delineating the climate threats to the region (page 9), particularly extreme rainfall events and decreased snowpack.
