The Fifth Assessment's Regional Reports are intended to uplift local knowledges and fill demonstrable gaps by collecting climate projections data and new research on climate change impacts in California to help communities adapt to evolving climate conditions. The report teams modeled their research development process after principles set forth by the California Strategic Growth Council (SGC)’s participatory research to policy model, engaging directly with communities to strengthen local connections and ensure that the Fifth Assessment is both rooted in and responsive to regional priorities. 

Following the release of Regional Reports, each of the teams will host a webinar to engage with the public on their findings, delve into innovative climate solutions, and discuss ways in which the research can inform investment and policy decisions, as well as serve communities with better access to up-to-date climate information.

The Los Angeles webinar will take place on September 16th, 2026 at 11 AM PDT.
