Description: This California Blueprint for Women’s Pandemic Economic Recovery, the first of its kind, centers the economic needs of women and girls as critical to the state’s economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, which remains ongoing.

Data shows that the economic crisis exacerbated the cumulative and collective crises women in California were already experiencing. The erosion of women’s well-being, human rights, and economic status will likely continue unless halted by deliberate policy interventions and strategic support from government and key stakeholders.

Description: Equity Challenges in California’s Arts Ecosystem offers data-driven findings, root cause analyses, and recommendations for a field in which the vast majority of financial resources go to a tiny percentage of organizations, and in which BIPOC-centered and rural organizations are still significantly underrepresented in access to those resources. Far more than a set of numeric data and individual stories, this report is a call to action for all of us that are committed to elevating equity in the arts sector for the benefit of all Californians.

Description: July 2005 - The San Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica) is at risk of extinction primarily due to profound habitat degradation, fragmentation, and loss. However, kit foxes inhabit some urban areas, and roads present a potential threat to kit foxes in these areas. From 1998-2004, we investigated the effects of roads on urban kit foxes in Bakersfield, California.

Description: In 2008‑09, weakening revenues and limited access to the credit markets reduced the California's resources to address monthly cash flow deficits. As a result, the state’s “cash cushion”—its available liquidity to allow the General Fund to make all budgeted payments on time—became unacceptably low. This report outlines the differences and similarities between the budget and cash flow situations, and makes recommendations for corrective actions to address the crisis.

Description: The state's efforts to rehabilitate juvenile and drug-addicted adult offenders have been largely ineffective despite substantial spending. In response, the Legislature has proposed shifting $1.4 billion of state responsibilities to counties, giving them more autonomy to manage programs for juvenile offenders and drug-addicted adults. The suggested financing plan involves increasing the vehicle license fee rate to 1 percent, generating $1.1 billion in revenue, and redirecting $359 million of existing VLF revenues, ultimately serving as an ongoing budget solution.

Description: This report outlines the success of California's most extensive energy conservation effort at the time. In 2000, California faced electricity supply challenges, leading Governor Davis to set a goal of reducing peak demand by 5,000 megawatts in 2001. The conservation campaign exceeded expectations, achieving a 5,570 megawatt reduction by June 2001. Overall electricity consumption dropped by 6.7%, with a record 14% reduction during peak hours.

Title: Using Future Climate Projections to Support Water Resources Decision Making In California

URL: http://www.energy.ca.gov/2009publications/CEC-500-2009-052/CEC-500-2009-052-D.PDF

Description: This paper presents several advances in using future climate projection information in water resources planning, such as an improved understanding of how well selected climate models represent historical climate conditions and refined methodologies for representing streamflows, outdoor urban and agricultural water demands, and sea level rise in planning tools. Twelve climate projections were used to assess the future reliability of California’s main water supply projects. Mid‐century and end‐of‐the‐century impacts were estimated for Sacramento‐San Joaquin Delta exports, reservoir carryover storage, groundwater pumping, power supply, and the Delta salinity standard known as X2. The vulnerability of the system to operational interruption was also examined. A sensitivity analysis was also conducted to examine the effects of air temperature on runoff in the Upper Feather River basin, the main inflow source to Lake Oroville. The range of impacts presented in this paper indicates a need to explore adaptation measures to improve the reliability of future water supplies in California.

Description: Simulation models are used here to weigh competing influences that might either increase or diminish future floods. Future characteristics of major storms, in particular pineapple express or atmospheric river storms, by global climate models indicated changes mostly at the extremes. Likewise, although the average intensity of storms was not projected to increase much in most climate models, occasional much-larger-than-historical-range storm intensities were simulated.

Description: Climate change will have profound effects on the distribution, function, and productivity of California’s forests. To provide managers with the means to anticipate likely forest responses to climate change, we initiated the development of a climate-sensitive growth and yield model for the mixed conifer forests of the Sierra Nevada (WS CalClim 1.0). WS CalClim 1.0 was built using the logic and architecture of the WESSIN variant (WS) of the Forest Vegetation Simulator. Our initial focus was on designing and testing a model of ponderosa pine productivity.

Results show a significant increase in wildfires, especially under higher emissions (SRES A2) with statewide increases ranging from 57% to 169% by 2085. The spatial patterns of increased fire occurrence vary based on the speed of vegetation shifts, with coastal areas and Northern California showing higher increases in fire area burned.

Description: This research measured the economic effects of climate-related yield change in California crops. The overall conclusion from model runs is that, while the effect of climate change is manifest through yield changes, after economic adaptation, the results on irrigated crop production are predominately shown in economic terms and changes in aggregate land and water use.
