What It Takes to Deliver Climate Progress and Shared Prosperity
California faces a defining challenge: how to address both crushing affordability pressures and escalating climate threats at the same time. Wildfires, extreme heat, and failing insurance markets compound the economic squeeze families already feel from high housing costs, utility bills, and everyday expenses. Traditional approaches treat these as separate problems requiring separate solutions. They're not. They're deeply connected challenges that demand integrated solutions.
The Resources Legacy Fund and California Forward have been working together this year to begin mapping out ideas for an approach to the next round of state climate programs that can support broad-based economic prosperity.
Please join us for an interactive discussion on Wednesday, February 25th from 5:30pm-7:00pm at Local Economy 6028 College Ave, Oakland.
We are eager to discuss these ideas with you, and to explore paths forward, including what policies are most important to consider and approaches to build political momentum for our collective efforts.
Thank you for considering and be in touch with any questions. Host will have happy hour appetizers and drinks. Please RSVP by February 23rd to secure a seat.
