California Climate Change Symposium 2015 is the premier forum for the sharing of cutting-edge research addressing the impacts of climate change on the state. This research informs the state’s strategies and policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to develop programs to safeguard California from a changing climate. California Climate Change Symposium 2015 is convened by the California Natural Resources Agency, the California Environmental Protection Agency, the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Symposium Goals:

• Facilitate the production, adoption and application of climate science with respect to California policy and local governance
  
• Provide a forum for sharing recent science and practical applications relevant to climate change impacts and vulnerability
  
• Foster the translation of regional climate change research into policy solutions
  
• Expand support for climate science research with applications to California’s environment, public health and economy
  
• Facilitate collaboration across scientific research fields and public policy silos
