Climate change in California
 | This article's lead section may be too short to adequately summarize the key points. (November 2020) |
Climate change in California has resulted in higher than average temperatures, leading to increased occurrences of droughts and wildfires.[3] Over the next few decades in California, climate change is predicted to further reduce water availability, increase wildfire risk, decrease agricultural productivity, and threaten coastal ecosystems.[4] The state could also be impacted economically due to the rising cost of providing water to its residents along with revenue and job loss in the agricultural sector.[5][6] Economic impacts also include inflation from rising insurance premiums,[7][8] energy costs and food prices.[7][9][10] California has taken a number of steps to mitigate impacts of climate change in the state.[11]
