The Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta is a biodiversity hotspot, supporting more than 750 species of plants and wildlife. It’s also home to about half a million people and 500,000 acres of productive farmland. Delta waterways play an essential role in the state’s water delivery system, and the region’s towns and open spaces are a hub for recreation and tourism. In coming decades, climate change will impact the Delta and require unprecedented efforts to build its resilience. Join us for an engaging conversation about the area’s unique value and its future. Together we’ll unpack the ongoing work to protect communities from climate extremes, restore ecosystems, and build the economic and environmental sustainability of this unique region.
