How is California preparing for the effects of climate change?

On the next Your Call, we'll rebroadcast a conversation we had about the impacts of climate change on California. How do we need to adapt our natural and built environments and our policies? The California Air Resources Board has adopted the nation's first cap-and-trade regulations. Will these air pollution controls work? What other policies are needed to adapt to climate change effects such as rising sea level? How is climate change affecting your area? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar, and you.

Guests:
Healy Hamilton, former director of the Center for Applied Biodiversity Informatics at the California Academy of Sciences

Steve Goldbeck, chief deputy director of the SF Bay Conservation and Development Commission

Charlie Knox, public works and community development director for the City of Benicia
