About Delta Adapts

Changes in climate are putting California’s water supply, economy, and biodiversity at risk. To address these impacts and reduce the Delta’s vulnerability to climate change, the Council embarked on its climate initiative, Delta Adapts, in 2018.

Delta Adapts consists of two parts:

(1) a climate change Vulnerability Assessment for the Delta and Suisun Marsh, and (2) an Adaptation Plan (formerly referred to as the Adaptation Strategy) detailing strategies and actions to adapt and respond to the identified vulnerabilities.

About the Council

The Council works to advance California’s coequal goals for the Delta – a more reliable statewide water supply and a resilient Delta ecosystem – in a manner that protects and enhances the unique characteristics of the Delta as an evolving place where people live, work, and recreate.

We carry out this mission by implementing the Delta Plan, an enforceable long-term sustainable management plan, to ensure coordinated action in the region at the federal, state, and local levels.
