Four fact sheets that answer questions about the local impacts of climate change for residents, landowners and decision makers in Marin, Sonoma, and Napa Counties were released April 19, 2013 by the North Bay Climate Adaptation Initiative (NBCAI).  Written for elected officials, planners, voters, landowners, and policy makers in Marin, Sonoma, and Napa Counties, the fact sheets raise awareness that climate change is underway and measurable, and provide guidance to key audiences to help our communities adapt to climate change.
