"I traveled to 30 cities + spoke to the people putting #ClimateAdaptation + solutions to work. I went from a sense of doom and gloom to optimism," said @stolerlyn (@parachute_earth).

"The way to get people to act is not by telling them but by showing them through action."

"If your community is not healthy, it is most likely because your environment is not healthy," said Director of Environmental Planning @NHapner (Kashia Band of Pomo Indians).

"If you do not protect what you receive from nature, it will leave you."

"Community partnerships are challenging but fulfilling. If we want this to become more normalized we have to think about how the other parts of an ecosystem-based approach to #science work," said Executive Director Ryan Meyer (@ucdavis).

"Partnerships require flexibility."

@AirResources "If you feel like the last decade has been hard, you're right," said State Climatologist Michael L. Anderson (@CA_DWR).

"Indicators + tracking tell a narrative that helps us understand the game plan to be more adaptable."

"Collaboration and engagement are super important to what we do and how we solve this problem [of climate change]," said Research Division Chief Elizabeth Scheehle (@AirResources).

"We need everyone's voice and to understand the needs from multiple perspectives."

"We're very adaptable people," said Big Valley Rancheria of Pomo Indians Tribal Elder + Tribal Historic Preservation Officer Ron Montez Sr.

"We've been adapting for thousands of years. Until you see landscapes through native eyes, you won't know how to deal with what is there."

[CalEPA @CaliforniaEPA]

"#ClimateChange affects all of us so dramatically. [Tribes] are on the front lines," said Middletown Rancheria of Pomo Indians Tribal Chairman Jose (Moke) Simon III.

"We will continue to survive. #Sustainability is not just something you talk about."

[CalEPA @CaliforniaEPA]

@OEHHA @CalEPASecretary "It is unequivocal that human influence has warmed the atmosphere, ocean + land," @chrfield (@StanfordWoods).

"Opportunities are way up. There is no question we have the technical tools at our disposal to solve the problem. Adaptation is mostly about building a better world."

[CalEPA @CaliforniaEPA]

@OEHHA "I want to thank those tribal members in attendance today for their continued partnership," said @CalEPASecretary.

"The tribes' long histories of interacting w/ the Earth since time immemorial helps advance our understanding of #climatechange + inform our policies + actions."

[CalEPA @CaliforniaEPA]

Director Zeise (@OEHHA) welcomed attendees, "Many of us can remember a moment that made #ClimateChange personal. When OEHHA started tracking indicators, there was still a question of whether climate change had a measurable impact on California. Today, there is no question."
