Webinar Opportunities- DWR Info Sharing: Fifth Climate Change Assessment Research Process and Tribal Research webinars The Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) is leading the implementation of California’s Fifth Climate Change Assessment (Fifth Assessment) in partnership with the California Energy Commission (CEC), California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA), and California Strategic Growth Council (SGC). The implementation team will host outreach opportunities this November to present draft guidelines and updates on the Fifth Assessment’s Tribal Research Grant Program and to share information about the individual research products each team is leading and how the public can get involved. Please join the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research, California Energy Commission, and California Natural Resources Agency for tribal sessions on California’s Fifth Climate Change Assessment’s Tribal Research Grant Draft Guidelines. · Session 1: Wednesday, November 9th, 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. · Session 2: Tuesday, November 1st, 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. The info presented at both sessions will be the same. We have received input from tribes through listening sessions, consultations, and meetings since July 22 and are excited to share draft concepts for additional feedback. We will present on Draft Guidelines for the Tribal Research Grant Program, updates on Fifth Assessment's Tribal Research Program and provide time for questions, input, and suggestions from attendees. Once draft guidelines are released, we will accept comments on the draft guidelines for 60 days, aiming to release final grant solicitation in the beginning of 2023. California's Fifth Assessment Tribal Research Team looks forward to building relationships and collaborating with California tribes to support tribal-led research in the Fifth Assessment and ensure that projects advance tribes’ goals and priorities around climate change, energy, and resilience.

Funding Opportunity- SCC Grants Each year, the Coastal Conservancy issues millions of dollars in grants for projects that restore and protect the California coast, expand public access to it, and enhance its resilience to climate change. The State of California has made an unprecedented investment in the resilience and accessibility of the coast. As a result, the Coastal Conservancy has significant funding available to: non-profit organizations, public agencies, and federally-recognized tribes for projects that benefit public access, natural resources, working lands, and climate resiliency at the coast, coastal watersheds, and the San Francisco Bay. We anticipate that most of this funding will be allocated through the ongoing pre-proposal process described below. The Conservancy will fund most stages of a project including: pre-project feasibility studies, property acquisition, project planning including community involvement, design, environmental review, permitting, construction, and project-related monitoring. We do not fund operation and maintenance activities. We will host a webinar on November 9 at 11:00 on Conservancy funding and how to apply for our grants. A recording of the webinar will be posted here.

The second half of this meeting will be a Tribal only discussion on: 1) Whether or not the presented values are reflective of Tribal perspectives, and gather what should be added before they continue. 2) How Tribes want to be represented in two Salmonid workgroups. The first ‘Science Advisory Team’ meeting is on November 18, 2022 information on it will be sent separately. The second is not yet scheduled. 3) How Tribes want us to structure a Tribal workgroup, what funding is available to support Tribal engagement, and how these funds should be distributed to regional Tribes.
