As California faces complex challenges, it is vital to adapt through collaboration among diverse stakeholders—state and local, urban and rural, Indigenous and non-Indigenous.  
The California Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI) and the California Strategic Growth Council (SGC) will host a Catalyst Convening for the San Diego region and the Los Angeles Region. More events across the state will be planned in the coming months. 

Representatives from local and regional governments, tribal governments, community-based organizations, philanthropic foundations, and institutions of higher education are invited - alongside key state agencies - to coordinate on the region’s energy, land use, climate barriers, and solutions. 

EVENT DETAILS: 

San Diego Region  
Tuesday, March 25

CSU Long Beach Campus, Pointe Conference Center 

Join us for the California Climate and Energy Collaborative’s series of informal discussions to encourage CA energy and climate practitioners to process and exchange information on the rapidly evolving landscape. We want these discussions to center around you and your concerns regarding topics like the new federal administration, the funding freeze, more. We hope that this space will allow for meaningful conversations that can reinvigorate and energize each other as we navigate this tumultuous landscape.

Our next huddle will be this Friday, February 21st. If you have more questions or ideas, please feel free to reach out to eecoordinator@civicwell.org.
