    “The vast majority of the bond money would go to climate resilience and adaptation—helping Californians prepare for sea-level rise, wildfires, extreme heat, droughts, floods, and all the other present and future impacts of our carbon-heavy lifestyles. (A much smaller portion would be spent on reducing greenhouse gas emissions.) The nine-county Bay Area, which has one-third of the state’s coastline and an estimated $62 billion in at-risk coastal property, is set to receive a significant chunk of those funds. At least 40 percent of the $10 billion must benefit lower-income or especially climate-vulnerable communities.”
