How climate change is affecting Southern California -- and what we can collectively do to ensure a bright future -- is what’s behind the partnership between KCET and Climate Resolve, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit dedicated to creating real, practical solutions to meet the climate challenge. Here, you’ll find groundbreaking climate science from UCLA’s Institute of the Environment and Sustainability (IoES) that came from collaborative effort with Climate Resolve and Los Angeles leaders to show the local impacts of climate change. With the science guiding us, we can plan local actions to build better communities. To that end, you’ll find resources, news, success stories, and practical solutions we can all take
