News release: Delta Stewardship Council adopts first-ever climate adaptation plan for California’s Delta
At its June 26, 2025, meeting, the Delta Stewardship Council adopted the first-ever comprehensive regional climate adaptation plan for California’s Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Part of the Council’s Delta Adapts climate initiative, the Adaptation Plan details strategies and actions to improve regional resilience to climate change across four focus areas: flood risk reduction, ecosystems, agriculture, and water supply reliability. It also identifies equity considerations of adaptation, costs, and governance challenges. The Council will work with its partners and other interested parties to implement the Adaptation Plan’s strategies, which will benefit current and future generations. … “As the climate continues to change, adaptation is no longer optional – it is essential,” says Executive Officer Jessica R. Pearson. “Investing in resilience today is how we safeguard our communities, water supply, ecosystems, and economies for tomorrow.”
