The core climate research program of California’s Fifth Climate Change Assessment, administered by the California Institute for Energy and Environment (CIEE) in partnership with California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA), has announced 15 projects receiving more than $5 million total in funding. These efforts will fill demonstrable gaps in the scientific literature related to understanding and adapting to climate impacts in California.
One of the selected projects, which aims to use a multisector approach to assess climate change adaptations in California agriculture and communities, will be led by CITRIS-affiliated researcher and UC Merced professor Josué Medellín-Azuara.
