Agenda: "Bridging Science and Action" Symposium (January 24, 2024)
Indicators of Climate Change Symposium: Bridging Science and Action
On January 24, 2024, the California Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) convened a symposium as part of its efforts to track and report on climate change and its impacts on California.
The symposium provided a forum to review and discuss new scientific knowledge and observed trends, highlighting disproportionate impacts on communities and ecosystems, and to promote engagement and integration of diverse knowledge and perspectives to better understand climate risks and develop equitable, sustainable options to address them. The symposium featured speakers from academia, state and Tribal governments, and community organizations. The symposium agenda is available below.
The symposium premiered a video produced by OEHHA in partnership with two Lake County Tribes, the Big Valley Band of Pomo Indians and the Middletown Rancheria of Pomo Indians of California, California Tribes and Climate Change: Voices from the Frontlines.
The symposium launched a series of webinars scheduled for 2024. The webinars will complement the Indicators of Climate Change in California report by updating the science and data, and illustrating how these inform climate action in California.
Recordings for the symposium are available at OEHHA's YouTube channel.
