Join Our Adaptation Community!

As a statewide network bringing together leading thinkers and doers of climate adaptation at all levels of society, ARCCA provides critical infrastructure to advance adaptation in California.

The Alliance of Regional Collaboratives for Climate Adaptation (ARCCA) is a robust network of leading regional collaboratives – each encompassing a diverse group of public agencies, nonprofits, universities, and private sector companies – working together to build resilience to climate change impacts throughout California. ARCCA also includes affiliate members working at the statewide, national, and/or international level to advance adaptation. ARCCA provides critical support to adaptation practitioners, including:

  • Coordination between State, regional, and local goals and activities;
  • Supporting for regional collaboratives to build effective local responses; and
  • The exchange of best practices and replicable strategies to accelerate actions.

ARCCA Regional Collaborative Members

ARCCA was formed by regional collaboratives and continues to provide critical infrastructure to connect, support, and build the capacity of our member regional collaboratives. We also provide guidance and assistance to support the formation of new regional collaboratives, particularly in underrepresented regions throughout California. New regional collaboratives are encouraged to join our statewide network! If you have any questions, please contact ARCCA’s Coordinator, Julia Kim (jkim@civicwell.org).
