A multi-disciplinary and co-creative initiative dedicated to researching and creating place-based responses to the impacts of climate change. We will prototype an innovative set of art & science exhibitions, events, and community-engaged experiences to advance the priorities of California’s Climate Adaptation Strategies, especially its priority to Strengthen Protections for Climate Vulnerable Communities by 1) Engaging with & building capacity in climate-vulnerable communities and 2) Improving understanding of climate impacts on California’s communities. Furthermore, the Climate Action Lab will advance UC Santa Cruz’s ambition to become a world leader in coastal climate science as a public expression of–an impact accelerator for–UCSC’s new Center for Coastal Climate Resilience. This cluster is also supported by a CCRC grant.
