How will climate change impact prioritized habitats?
Climate Risk
It is assumed that habitats prioritized for conservation action will persist in those locations into the future. If climate change results in projected climate outside of the range of suitable climate for the vegetation types in that area, then the species and habitats in those prioritized lands may be more vulnerable to climate change. In your area, {{ analyticaldata.features[0].properties.prinathab_marginal_percent|negligible }}% of prioritized habitats have vegetation types likely to be at the margins of suitable climate.
Resilience
Some species and vegetation in prioritized landscapes are likely to persist despite climate change either because projected changes are still within the range of suitable climate for those vegetation types or because local microclimate options that make those vegetation types more resilient to potential climate stress. In this area, {{ analyticaldata.features[0].properties.prinathab_ok_percent|negligible }}% of prioritized habitats have vegetation types that are likely to have suitable climate in the future. This area is {{ analyticaldata.features[0].properties.arearesilience_value }} resilience for the Bay Area.
Catastrophic Fire Risk to Prioritized Habitats
Uncharacteristically severe fire can limit an ecosystem's ability to recover and can cause rapid changes to habitat and the wildlife it supports. In your area, {{ analyticaldata.features[0].properties.prinathab_firesev_percent|negligible }}% of prioritized habitats are in high and very high fire severity zones.

How will climate change impact species that might require mitigation?
Climate Risk
Drought may reduce water availability causing changes to habitat and cover and exposing species to stressful conditions.
Resilience
Under drought conditions, Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems can provide important refuge for rare and endangered species, especially in times of drought, when other habitat options are increasingly stressed by reduced water availability. Your area has {{ analyticaldata.features[0].properties.groundwaterdependentecosystems_value.toLocaleString() }} acres of Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems.
Risk from Sea-Level Rise
Sea level rise may inundate important coastal habitat. {{ analyticaldata.features[0].properties.coastalhabitatvulnerable_value.toLocaleString()|negligible }} acres of coastal habitat is vulnerable to sea-level rise, meaning they do not have enough room to migrate inland in response. Restoration and management of these habitats or adapting the built environment can enhance their resilience. These areas may still play an important role in protecting communities from the impacts of sea-level rise.
Resilience
Estuarine wetlands will need room to migrate inland as sea levels rise. Estuarine migration space is undeveloped uplands that are projected to become tidal with sea level rise. Migration space will need to be conserved, restored, and/or managed for tidal marshes and other bay habitats to move inland as sea level rises. These habitat types, and particularly marshes, provide multiple benefits to people, including enhancing shoreline resilience, improving water quality, and sequestering carbon. Up to {{ analyticaldata.features[0].properties.coastalhab_migrationspace_value.toLocaleString()|negligible }} acres in this area could be potential future habitat for coastal marsh migration.

Resilience
Agricultural practices such as cover cropping, using soil amendments, and planting hedgerows can sequester CO2 and mitigate climate change while also providing habitat and improving crop yield, making local food production more resilient to the impacts of climate change. Decentralized stormwater capture on farms can help replenish aquifers. Additionally, planting urban farms can contribute to a resilient food system, improve community access to healthy foods, and reduce the effect of urban heat islands.

Overview
Climate change is already threatening the Bay Area’s natural and human communities.
- Residents and outdoor workers are experiencing more high heat events.
- Sea level rise, flooding, and catastrophic fire threaten infrastructure and communities.
- Drought threatens the Bay Area’s rich agricultural lands and water supply.
- Plants and animals are increasingly stressed by changing conditions.
Nature-based solutions can mitigate climate change and can make the Bay Area’s communities, infrastructure, economy, plants, and animals more resilient to impacts from climate change.
For each section below, we present key risks and associated nature-based solutions that improve resilience.
Climate Resilience
Systems that are robust enough to persist and adapt over the long run
Climate Change
Carbon Storage
Risk
Heat-trapping gasses, especially carbon dioxide, released into our atmosphere are the leading cause of climate change. In addition to energy use, vehicle miles traveled and other emission sources from the built environment, disturbance of vegetation and soils release carbon into the atmosphere.
Annual average extreme heat days (over 85°F) in the Bay Area may increase by 15 to 40 more days per year by 2050, and potentially 90 more days per year by 2100.
Nature-based Solution
Healthy habitats are one of our only tools to help fight climate change by capturing and storing carbon both in the trunks and stems of vegetation and belowground in the soil.
This area stores {{ analyticaldata.features[0].properties.carbon_aboveground_value.toLocaleString() }} metric tons of CO2 equivalent in vegetation, soils, and street trees.

In October 2020, Governor Newsom signed Executive Order N-82-20 commiting to protect 30% of California’s lands and coastal waters by 2030, making California the first state to join the international 30x30 movement. This executive order aims to advance biodiversity conservation and the role of natural and working lands in enhancing the health, equity, and resiliency of California’s communities.
3 Key Objectives for 30x30 in California
1. Protect and restore California’s unique biodiversity
2. Expand equitable access to nature and its benefits
3. Conserve places that help California achieve carbon neutrality and/or build climate resilience
The California Biodiversity Council: Opportunities to Advance 30x30 application highlights available state and federal programs that could be a resource for projects that advance California’s 30x30 Key Objectives.
The Bay Area Greenprint and 30x30
The Pathways to 30x30 California: Accelerating Conservation of California’s Nature document promotes Accelerating Regionally Led Conservation as a strategic action toward advancing 30x30. The Bay Area Greenprint is a regionally-led planning and reporting tool that serves data and analyses to reveal the values and benefits of natural and working lands to people and nature. The following report uses Bay Area Greenprint data and metrics to highlight how any area of interest may advance California’s 30x30 Key Objectives.
1. Protect and Restore California’s Unique Biodiversity

3. Mitigate and Build Resilience to Climate Change
Nature-based solutions can mitigate climate change and can make the Bay Area’s communities, infrastructure, economy, plants, and animals more resilient to impacts from climate change.
Carbon Storage
Risk
Heat-trapping gasses, especially carbon dioxide, released into our atmosphere are the leading cause of climate change. In addition to energy use, vehicle miles traveled and other emission sources from the built environment, disturbance of vegetation and soils release carbon into the atmosphere.
Annual average extreme heat days (over 85°F) in the Bay Area may increase by 15 to 40 more days per year by 2050, and potentially 90 more days per year by 2100.
Nature-based Solution
Healthy habitats are one of our only tools to help fight climate change by capturing and storing carbon both in the trunks and stems of vegetation and belowground in the soil.
This area stores {{ analyticaldata.features[0].properties.carbon_aboveground_value.toLocaleString() }} metric tons of CO2 equivalent in vegetation, soils, and street trees. Avoiding disturbance in this area would have greenhouse gas emissions reduction benefits equivalent to getting at least {{ analyticaldata.features[0].properties.carbon_ghgequiv_cars.toLocaleString() }} passenger vehicles driven for one year off of the road, or benefits equivalent to planting at least {{ analyticaldata.features[0].properties.carbon_ghgequiv_trees.toLocaleString() }} seedlings and letting them grow for 10 years.
