  • California Natural Resources Agency Secretary Speaker Series: Climate Change and the Future of Our Delta

    Groundbreaking science is helping regions across California adapt to climate change and its impacts. No place demonstrates this more than the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. This huge estuary is a hub for water supply, agriculture, recreation, and cultural heritage. It is also under grave threat from climate impacts, including sea level rise and weather whiplash. Join the California Natural Resources Agency on October 27, 2025, at 12:00 PM via Zoom to unpack how emerging scientific research is shaping innovative strategies to protect the Delta’s communities, agriculture, infrastructure, and world-renowned biodiversity in the coming decades. The Delta Stewardship Council and its Delta Science Program are proud to be among the panelists participating in this important conversation.
