The San Francisco Bay Area takes a strong stand for climate action & the environment.
Do we still?
The Bay Area’s average temperature increased by 1.7°F from 1950-2005

Several studies suggest that coastal fog along the California coast is less frequent than before.
The fog is critical to our Bay Area climate, supporting the Redwood trees, forest ecosystems, and protecting us from drought. (photo credit: M. Hammoutene)
Sea level in the Bay Area has risen over 8 inches in the last 100 years.
Much of the Bay Area’s transportation system — airports, roads, and railways — is concentrated along the bay where flooding from sea level rise and storm surge is a major vulnerability. Wastewater treatment plants, historically located along bay shorelines where effluent discharge was convenient, are now highly vulnerable to future sea level rise. (photo credit: M. Hammoutene)
