CRC2 is committed to fostering collaboration among city and state leaders, researchers, and environmental NGOs, with a vision of emerging as a Climate Resilient California and Californians. Join in shaping a resilient future and catalyzing a Global Movement of Climate Change Resilience, engaging stakeholders from local mayors and council members to state and national leaders.

CRC2 is hosting the Innovate Locally to Inspire Change Globally Summit, which builds upon the Climate Resilience Summit held at the Vatican in May 2024. The Vatican Summit resulted in a Planetary Call to Action for Climate Change Resilience, which was signed by Pope Francis and all attending Governors and Mayors.
The Innovate Locally to Inspire Change Globally Summit aims to support California’s mayors and municipal administrators in developing a vertically integrated resilience strategy, leveraging shared experiences in addressing the climate crisis. Additionally, the Summit will provide guidance on accessing state and federal resources to drive meaningful climate solutions.
The Pontifical Academy of Sciences and Social Sciences are sponsoring 10 regional summits on Climate Resilience, and the Innovate Locally to Inspire Change Globally Summit in the State of California is the first in the series. These 10 summits will be attended by city/county leaders, local scientists, and nonprofit institutions, with the goal of creating a framework for climate resilience.
