Past Climate Ready SMC Initiative

The Climate Ready SMC was an initiative to help communities understand climate impacts now and in the future. In 2019, Climate Ready launched a study to understand how climate change impacts could affect transportation systems and communities in the county. Funded by Caltrans and led by the Sustainability Department, the study evaluated extreme heat, wildfire, and sea level rise impacts. The project led to the creation of a countywide Climate Ready SMC Collaborative which brought together leaders from across sectors, jurisdictions, and communities to foster collaboration and identify potential solutions to make San Mateo County more resilient to climate impacts.

The initiative used a variety of strategies to understand and plan for climate risks including fostering collaboration through webinars and convenings, development of policy tools, modeling climate impacts, creating outreach materials, investing in culturally competent community engagement, and providing technical assistance, partnership, and resources to resiliency projects. Funded in part by Caltrans, Climate Ready SMC provided competitive grant funds and in-kind support for two pilot city-scale adaptation planning projects:

Past Convenings and Webinars

Climate Ready SMC hosted six convenings and two webinars focused on key climate risks and potential solutions. Learn more about local risks and city and community-led solutions for wildfire, sea level rise and flooding, extreme heat and intersections with health, economic, and social resiliency by exploring the convening videos and materials.
