Advancing Ecosystem Restoration with Smarter Permitting

Virtual Event

August 18, 2021 · 10:00 am - 11:00 am

ONLINE-ONLY EVENT

About the Program

California’s ecosystems are vital to the state’s water supply, agriculture, wildlife, and economy. Yet many of these ecosystems are in dire health, and climate change and accelerating biodiversity loss threaten to to further disrupt them. Large-scale ecosystem restoration is urgently needed; embracing smarter permitting can help. Join the PPIC Water Policy Center and state and local experts for a panel discussion about how to accelerate the scale and pace of restoration work through smarter permitting.

This research and event are supported with funding from the S. D. Bechtel, Jr. Foundation and the funders of the PPIC CalTrout Ecosystem Fellowship.
