Climate and Sustainability Program Coordinator

California communities are increasingly threatened by extreme heat events, whose financial and social impacts are often not fully examined or integrated into risk mitigation strategies. To tackle this, Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara sponsored legislation (Public Resources Code, section 81410(f)) based on the recommendations of the California Climate Insurance Working Group to develop a new analysis of uninsured and insured impacts from recent extreme heat events. This has resulted in the first-of-its-kind report: “Impacts of Extreme Heat to California’s People, Infrastructure, and Economy."

Job Overview
