Increasing Data Accessibility and Climate Resilience Planning Support Grant Award Information

Project Summary

The Cal-Adapt web application provides high-quality, peer-reviewed data and scientific analysis of climate-related factors such as sea level rise, storms, wildfire, and extreme heat events, which can be integrated into locally relevant climate action plans and adaptation strategies. Researchers leveraged the existing Cal-Adapt web application tool by conducting needs assessments and outreach efforts to help identify new datasets, design and build new features and targeted tools for the application that more thoroughly addresses stakeholder needs beyond the energy sector, and assist state agencies and others with developing actionable plans to adapt to changing conditions.
