This summer, EPA’s Local Climate and Energy Program will be hosting a two-part webcast series on the connections among climate change, the heat island effect, and public health. As temperatures rise due to climate change, the heat island effect (which causes built-up areas to be hotter than surrounding areas) is exacerbated, leading to increases in heat-related illnesses, deaths, and other health problems. This series will address both the short-term response needs that local governments face during heat waves and longer-term strategies for reducing the heat island effect in the future

Join the Alliance of Regional Collaboratives for Climate Adaptation (ARCCA) and Risky Business Project for a webinar diving into Risky Business’ economic risk assessment of climate change in California with the lead author of the California report, Jamesine Rogers, and Risky Business’ Communications Director, Tan Copsey. Learn about the advantages of taking a risk-based approach to climate change, how to best engage the business community in pursuit of shared goals, and how ARCCA member regional collaboratives are working together to advance climate resilience and adaptation.

CivicSpark has opened the member application and is recruiting candidates for the 2015-16 service year. Members will spend 11 months assisting California local governments in their response to climate change. All 48 members will have a chance to gain valuable practical experience, develop professional skills, and build a strong network while making a lasting impact in their communities.

“In partnership with the UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability and the Los Angeles Regional Collaborative (LARC) for Climate Action and Sustainability, the Embassy of France in the United States and the Consulate General of France in Los Angeles will organize a conference to discuss the challenges climate change represents for cities around the world. With more than half of humanity living in cities, urban centers are key actors for climate change. Climate change represents a major threat for many cities that will have to face a range of impacts from the consequences of the changing climate (sea level rise, increased frequency of extreme weather events, heat waves, etc.). However, the threats brought by climate change can also represent an opportunity and many cities are already taking action to become climate resilient by both decreasing their emissions and by preparing to mitigate the future impacts of climate change.

USC Sea Grant, in partnership with the South Bay Cities Council of Governments, the City of Santa Monica, LARC, Heal the Bay, and the Santa Monica Bay Restoration Commission, would like to invite you to attend our first Regional AdaptLA workshop: Sea Level Rise & Coastal Impacts - Professional Development for Community Leaders.
