City of Chula Vista Climate Change Working Group releases draft Climate Adaptation Strategies

DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONS ON CLIMATE ADAPTATION STRATEGIES

The City of Chula Vista’s Climate Change Working Group (CCWG) has released its DRAFT recommendations on Climate Adaptation Strategies. In October 2009, the CCWG – comprised of residents, businesses, and community representatives – was directed by City Council to develop a list of recommended strategies to reduce Chula Vista’s vulnerability to expected local climate change impacts (known as “climate adaptation”). Over the past 8 months, the CCWG held 12 public meetings to review potential impacts, identify opportunities to reduce these risks, and solicit feedback from the public.

The CCWG will be presenting their draft recommendations to the City’s Resource Conservation Commission at their September 13th meeting. The public is encouraged to attend the meeting (info below) to provide further feedback to the group:

Resource Conservation Commission meeting
Monday, September 13th at 4:00pm
