The City of San Diego is getting ready to release a climate action plan that includes lists of ideas on how the city can help tackle climate change.

The Climate Resilient SD plan has identified four primary climate change hazards that pose a risk to San Diego: sea-level rise, flooding/drought, extreme heat, wildfires.

"When we know we are faced with a changing climate, how do we adapt? And not only how do we adapt but how do we make our communities and our lives even better when we’re looking at investments to address climate change," said Heidi Vonblum, Deputy Director with the City of San Diego's Planning Department.

The plan outlines various actions that can be taken to combat the four different categories, plus any costs and also pros/cons. It is expected to be released in early October, then the public will have the opportunity to respond to the ideas and give feedback.
