Resilient California Summit 2026

About this event

The inaugural Resilient California Summit is a three-day gathering of the state’s climate adaptation and resilience practitioners, focused on the policies, partnerships, and practices needed to build resilience as climate change accelerates. Participation is expected from local and state government, Tribal partners, community organisations, utilities, private firms, academia, and philanthropy.

Presentations will draw on new research from California’s Fifth Climate Change Assessment, alongside resilience projects and discussion of long-range goals. The organisers received more than 380 panel proposals in response to their call for presentations.
