Sept. 30, 11 a.m. — Fire has always been part of the Western landscape, but the fire season gets longer and more severe every year. So far this year, California has seen four of the largest wildfires in its history, and the Dixie Fire, the second-largest in state history, is still burning after two months.
Key themes and messages are highlighted from the 14th International Conference (CBA14) on Community-based Adaptation to climate change, which was held virtually from September 21-25, 2020. Peter Nguyen, a Ph.D. student in Geography at the University of California, Davis summarizes key learnings and experiences from this conference.
While 2020 has brought a myriad of challenges to the world, the UC Davis Climate Adaptation Research Center has continued to pursue research that can support the communities affected by our changing climate. Co-Director Dr. Eric Chu's work has stood out to several renowned journals and is being recognized for his well-supported analyses.
