Nature-Based Solutions

The Challenge

Climate change is contributing to the historic California drought, increasing the number and severity of wildfires, and threatening our public health with poor air quality.

Solutions

We can protect our water supply, improve air quality, and reduce greenhouse gases with conservation efforts that include protecting our precious mountains and rivers.
