Every session I went to felt entirely worth the time and effort to be there. I greatly appreciated the focus on equity and diverse leadership and community-driven solutions. I also appreciated the substantive talks on moving from planning to implementation.

Sponsor Spotlight: Center for Ocean Solutions
How can California communities respond to the #threats of rising sea levels, growing coastal populations and more damaging storms that threaten our beaches, wetlands and coastal livelihoods? Check out these new resources from Stanford Center for Ocean Solutions & the Natural Capital Project:
- Coastal Adaptation Policy Briefs – A compilation of 17 specific adaptation strategies, tradeoffs, considerations, and examples for coastal planners
- Coastal Adaptation Online Viewer – View coastal exposure, protective role of habitat, and priority adaptation areas
Together these resources can help advance #sustainable, strategic coastal adaptation planning – protecting people and property now and for the future.

I enjoyed the variation of leaders that spoke about their different methods. It is refreshing to hear from areas and people who are often considered to be against the idea of climate change come back with helpful solutions and practices.

This was an excellent chance to think outside of my environmental sector and better recognize that there are many sectors (transportation, housing, etc.) facing similar issues and that we will need to work together collaboratively and learn from each other to implement climate adaptation that best serves Californians.

I thought the forum was great. Everyone I met was positive and encouraging. At no time, did I feel that things were hopeless, but the opposite, it gave me hope to see so many knowledgable, interested and passionate people. The networking was invaluable.
