Composed of collaboratives organized to address climate in particular regions of California, ARCCA is dedicated to helping the state prepare for impacts of climate change
Through collaboration each region will accomplish more than by working alone and can better help the State succeed in protecting Californians
ARCCA will generally operate by democratic principles and seek to reach consensus as much as possible through dialogue and negotiation
Recognizing that regions have different climate adaptation priorities, ARCAA will focus efforts where there is common ground
Each collaborative will share information that it believes will be valuable to other regions, including pilot projects and case studies, best practices, funding models and partnerships
We will seek to be inclusive of other regions in the state interested in participating and be a resource to those outside California where appropriate
We will strive to find common objectives to develop joint funding opportunities
Our common voice will increase the credibility and effectiveness of our efforts to inform state and federal policy, guidance and resource allocation
