California is experiencing unprecedented climate change impacts, marked by extreme droughts followed by floods, reduced snowpack, rising sea levels, and early wildfire seasons, disproportionately affecting low-income communities.
While California leads in climate mitigation efforts by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the state faces a challenging future of water management due to climate change effects that are already locked in.
California's urban water use has remained constant since 1990 despite population growth, showcasing the state's innovative strategies. However, research indicates that current efforts may not be sufficient for future challenges.
Ongoing climate change means California must adapt its water management strategies as it confronts declining snowpack and increased wildfire risks, with underserved communities facing the harshest impacts.
