Climate Adaption And Resiliency Program

California Wildlife Conservation Board (WCB)

What does it fund?

Development and implementation of climate adaptation and resiliency projects that prioritize conservation and management of natural and working lands, provide technical assistance for natural and working land managers, and support efforts that improve rural and urban coordination on climate change adaptation.

Who is eligible for funds?

Local agencies, park and open space districts, resource conservation districts, private landowners, and nonprofits.

How does this program provide benefits to priority populations?

The Climate Adaptation and Resiliency Program considers the ability of projects to provide direct, assured, and meaningful benefits to priority populations as a competitive scoring criterion. Guidelines recommend direct consultation with local communities to determine needs and work collaboratively to address them while avoiding displacement or undue burden resulting from project activity.
