CDFW Climate College Training Resources

In order to increase climate change literacy among CDFW employees and our partners, the CDFW has created the Climate College to provide a foundation of knowledge on climate change. Accessing the variety of online climate change tools, literature, and other references is a very useful and important part of this climate change education. In support of this initiative CDFW along with its partners have pulled together a sampling of existing online webinars and videos related to climate change and natural resource conservation. By creating a network of existing webinars and videos, CDFW hopes to provide staff and partners with resources that will empower them to incorporate climate change into their work and to be climate leaders in California.
