California Resilience Challenge 2022 RFP Now Open

By -

 

Dear Climate Resilience Enthusiast,

Two years ago, a coalition of businesses, utilities, and environmental organizations launched the California Resilience Challenge to help communities across California strengthen their resilience to the increasingly severe droughts, heatwaves, wildfires, and flooding affecting California as a result of climate change. With support from the California Resilience Challenge,  25 communities across the state are today undergoing climate adaptation planning initiatives.  
 
That’s why the Bay Area Council Foundation is thrilled to announce that the California Resilience Challenge 2022 Grant Program Request for Proposals is now open through September 14, 2022.

Building off the success of the 2020 and 2021 Grant Programs, the 2022 California Resilience Challenge is focused on helping under-resourced communities build resilience against the climate challenges that threaten them most. To help achieve this objective, eligibility for the California Resilience Challenge 2022 Grant Program is open to community-based organizations as well as local and regional public entities representing under-resourced communities.  To learn more about the California Resilience Challenge, including what types of entities and projects qualify, please visit the links below.

This effort will advance environmental justice by ensuring those farmworkers have access to important health and safety information on pesticide labels in their native language. During the webinar, EPA will provide a brief overview of the PRIA 5 requirements on bilingual pesticide labeling and milestones. PRIA 5 amended the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, requiring Spanish language translation for key health and safety sections of the end-use pesticide product labels where the translation is available in the EPA Spanish Tran
