Speakers: Kira Carrillo Corser, Team Leader, Artist and Education, Seachanges.org; Alison Joe, AICP, Commissioner, Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission; Mallorie Marsh, Manager, School and Teacher Programs, Crocker Art Museum; Sabrina McCormick, Associate Professor, George Washington University: MODERATOR: Amber Pairis, Ph.D, Senior Environmental Scientist, California Department of Fish and Wildlife

Artists play a key role in communicating ideas to their local communities and beyond. Art in its varied forms can be used to educate and train, promote a sense of community, celebrate and support individuals, promote ideas and initiatives, and can play a pivotal role in supporting social change. Climate change offers a unique and important opportunity to bring art and science together to reach a wide array of people on a subject where time is of the essence. Art can touch people emotionally not just academically and create an experience that translates climate change research into something meaningful on a personal level. This session is a storytelling hour where California-based artists and those involved with the arts discuss their experiences on how art can translate climate science into something that is accessible and creates an interest and curiosity among people to become more engaged on the topic.

Financing Climate Adaptation: Public-Private Cross-Pollination

Speakers: Shalini, Vajjhala, Ph.D., Founder and CEO, Re:Focus Partners; Cisco DeVries, CEO, Renewable Funding; Stephanie Rico, Vice President, Environmental Affairs, Wells Fargo, Government and Community Relations; Rebecca Foster, Advisor, San Francisco Mayor’s Office of Civic Innovation; MODERATOR: Aleka Seville, Director, Advisory Services, Four Twenty Seven, Inc.

Financing adaptation efforts – from local community outreach to major infrastructure improvements – calls for creative sources of funding to stretch local governments’ limited budgets. This roundtable discussion focuses on innovative ways to involve the private sector in solving public problems, building on existing initiatives in energy, climate and city planning. We hear from thought leaders whose efforts straddle the public and private sectors, and discuss whether and how these different forms of public-private partnerships (PPPs) could be repurposed to help fund climate adaptation efforts at the local level.
