Santa Monica Climate Resiliency: Designing Strategies For the Next 30+ Years
This Sustainable September, the City of Santa Monica is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Sustainable City Plan and our long-standing commitment to enhancing our resources, preventing harm to the natural environment and human health, and benefiting the social and economic well-being of the community for the sake of current and future generations. As we look back on the progress we have made over the years, it is also important to look ahead and design a sustainable and resilient community for the future.
Join us for a sunset chat as we discuss with local industry experts different strategies Santa Monica has taken the lead on:
- Tom Ford, The Bay Foundation's Chief Executive Officer, will share the progress made on Santa Monica's Beach Dune Restoration Project
- Sunny Ward, Water Resources Manager at the City of Santa Monica, will discuss the City’s Sustainable Water Master Plan, SWIP and Water Recycling
- Evelin Weber, Malibu Foundation’s Executive Director and co-founder, who will talk about Santa Monica's new microforest project.
Prior to the discussion, join us for small bites, networking and, if you like, take a sunset stroll through Santa Monica’s Beach Dune Restoration Project, one of Santa Monica’s coastal climate adaptation strategies.
A guided tour of the dunes will take place at 5:30pm for the first 25 people who sign up. The tour will take place 30 minutes before the Santa Monica Climate Resiliency: Designing Strategies for the next 30+ years event. Tickets for the tour are just below the tickets for the Climate Resiliency event. The tour is only for those who are also going to the Climate Resiliency event. Please do not take a tour spot if you are not also going to the event.
These are FREE events, however registration is required. Space is limited.
Ride, don't drive, if you can. The Annenberg offers bike racks. The Big Blue Bus #9 stops at the intersection of Entrada Dr./Channel Rd. and Pacific Coast Highway, about 1/4 mile north of the Beach House. Use the underground walking path to get across PCH to the beach, and then head south along the bike path toward the Beach House.

If you must drive, try to carpool.
