SACRAMENTO, CA January 18, 2022 — Today Senator Bill Dodd (D-Napa) introduced SB 852, sponsored by the Local Government Commission, which would allow local jurisdictions to form climate resilience districts in order to address the effects of climate change. SB 852 will permit cities, counties, or special districts to establish districts which can use local, state, federal, and private funding to underwrite projects and actions which will respond through mitigation or adaptation to the risks posed by wildfire, extreme heat, sea level rise, flooding, drought, and other impacts of climate change.
