GREENBELT ALLIANCE IS ACTIVATING ENVIRONMENTALISTS AS ADVOCATES FOR HOUSING AS A CLIMATE SOLUTION WHILE MOBILIZING HOUSING ACTORS TO ADVOCATE FOR NEW HOMES IN THE RIGHT PLACES. OUR WORK WILL INCREASE NEW HOMES WITHIN EXISTING COMMUNITIESACROSS ALL INCOME LEVELSIN WAYS THAT REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS, CLIMATE RISKS, AND IMPACTS ON THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT. ADVANCING WATERSHED RESILIENCE - THE BAY AREA'S SHORELINE CITIES ARE BEING INUNDATED WITH WATER, CAUSING DAMAGE TO HOMES AND CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE, WHILE TOWNS FURTHER INLAND GRAPPLE WITH REPETITIVE FLOODING. ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES IS THAT THE PEOPLE AT HIGHEST RISK OF THESE CLIMATE IMPACTS AREN'T BEING HEARD. GREENBELT ALLIANCE IS ACCELERATING COMMUNITY AWARENESS AND PARTICIPATION IN CLIMATE ADAPTATION PLANNING BY FORGING RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, CLIMATE-BASED ORGANIZATIONS, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO OVERCOME OBSTACLES AND CATALYZE EFFECTIVE AND EQUITABLE FLOOD ADAPTATION EFFORTS. OUR WORK WILL SUPPORT THE JURISDICTIONS AT THE HIGHEST RISK OF FLOODING TO IMPLEMENT FEASIBLE PLANS THAT BUILD RESILIENCE TO INUNDATION. LIVING WITH WILDFIRE - EXTREME WILDFIRE EVENTS ARE GROWING MORE FREQUENT EVERY YEAR UNDER A CHANGING CLIMATE. THIS NEW REALITY HAS LEFT COMMUNITIES GRAPPLING WITH HOW TO ADAPT. GREENBELT ALLIANCE IS WORKING IN FIRE-PRONE AREAS TO PROMOTE POLICIES AND LANDSCAPE-SCALE MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES TO PREPARE COMMUNITIES FOR FUTURE FIRES. OUR WORK WILL EQUIP THESE PLACES WITH BEST PRACTICES IN LAND MANAGEMENT TACTICS AND ESTABLISH CLEAR CHANNELS OF COLLABORATION SO THAT RESIDENTS AND DECISION MAKERS CAN HAVE THE RESOURCES NEEDED TO COEXIST WITH WILDFIRES. GOVERNING NATURE-BASED RESILIENCE - CLIMATE HAZARDS DON'T STOP AT MUNICIPAL BOUNDARIES, AND OUR ADAPTATION STRATEGIES CANNOT EITHER. MANY MUNICIPALITIES AND CLIMATE-BASED ORGANIZATIONS LACK THE CAPACITY TO MANAGE MUCH-NEEDED FUNDING FROM STATE AND FEDERAL PROGRAMS. GREENBELT ALLIANCE IS WORKING TO FOSTER THE COLLABORATION NEEDED ACROSS BOUNDARIES TO PLAN, IMPLEMENT, AND MANAGE LONG-TERM RESILIENCE PROJECTS. WE ARE FACILITATING THE GOVERNANCE STRUCTURES, DIALOGUES, COORDINATION, AND BEST PRACTICES TO STRENGTHEN CITIES AND COUNTIES WORKING BETTER TOGETHERINCREASING EQUITABLE AND IMPACTFUL OUTCOMES. CONNECTING PEOPLE TO NATURE - MANY PEOPLE LACK ACCESS TO INFORMATION ABOUT THE BAY AREA'S NATURAL PLACES AND THE SOLUTIONS THEY PROVIDE TO BUILD MORE CLIMATE RESILIENCE IN WAYS THAT EQUITABLY BENEFIT ECOSYSTEMS AND COMMUNITIES. GREENBELT ALLIANCE IS DEEPENING THE CONNECTION BETWEEN HUMANS AND THE NATURAL WORLD SO THAT COMMUNITIES CAN LEVERAGE NATURE'S MANY BENEFITS TO STEWARD THE GREENSPACES AND LANDS THAT ARE CRITICAL TO THRIVE. INVESTING IN NATURE - LANDS THROUGHOUT THE BAY AREA MUST BE PROTECTED AND THOUGHTFULLY MANAGED TO STRENGTHEN RESILIENCE AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE AND ADVANCE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF NATURE-BASED INFRASTRUCTURE. UNFORTUNATELY, THE DEDICATED FUNDING REQUIRED FOR THIS CRITICAL WORK IS SEVERELY LACKING. GREENBELT ALLIANCE IS DRIVING PLANNING AND COORDINATION EFFORTS TO INCREASE INVESTMENT STREAMS THAT RESULT IN THE HEIGHTENED PROTECTION, CONSERVATION, AND STEWARDSHIP OF OPEN SPACES WHILE ADVANCING THE USE OF NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS IN RESILIENCE STRATEGIES.
