The Trump Administration has already had a significant impact on climate adaptation & disaster resilience priorities and funding availability in California. The Federal Administration has completely frozen or outright cancelled large funding programs like the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities, and the Community Change Grants Program, and we have recently seen the criminalization of awarded applicants for these programs.

This comes at a time when communities are facing repetitive climate-driven disasters and are fighting for the resources they need to develop, plan, and implement community-led strategies for resilience.
