No one jurisdiction or organization can overcome the scale of the climate crisis. Addressing it will require transformative change at the individual, community, institutional, and regional scale. While most institutions recognize the fluidity of climate change impacts and solutions, they are not naturally structured or organized to work beyond their boundaries. In 2020, the County, in partnership with cities and nonprofits, launched the Santa Barbara County Regional Climate Collaborative (Climate Collaborative) to engage a broader array of stakeholders in addressing the region’s climate challenges.
