The California Strategic Growth Council provided funds to the University of California to supplement the California Climate Action Seed and Matching Grants.
The Community-Engaged S/Hero Supplements provided 10 projects with $20,000 each to identify best practices for engaging communities around climate risks, and to provide leadership, resources, and counsel to all climate award teams on community engagement.
Outputs from this effort include a webpage providing useful community engagement resources and a workshop series providing best practices for community engagement in climate action research and collaborative approaches to ensure genuine multi-institutional and community/end-user engagement in climate action research across the state.
