Climate Action research boosts communities’ resilience to natural disasters
In 2022-23, the state of California allocated $100 million to the University of California to fund research grants supporting climate change resilience in communities across California. Three of the California Climate Action Seed Grant-funded research projects are investigating how communities can prepare for natural disasters, including how to protect the safety and rights of migrant workers involved in disaster relief, mapping how sea level rise is changing earthquake risks, and preparing evacuation routes to be effective for electric vehicles.
