@CalNatResources Thank you, @CalNatResources. We were grateful to welcome Secretary Crowfoot to UC Santa Barbara for this important conversation on climate resilience, wildfire preparedness and the partnerships needed before the next emergency.

“The more I do this work, the more I realize we are that proverbial frog in boiling water,” Crowfoot said. “We are living on a planet that is dangerously out of balance.”
