Members of the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) have approved a resolution calling for the group to develop a regional framework that will help local governments prepare for anticipated future disruptions due to climate change.
The resolution, which states that Southern California is facing a “climate change emergency” that is disproportionately affecting disadvantaged communities, passed by a unanimous vote earlier this month, with 53 members approving the resolution and none weighing in against the measure.
