2026 is shaping up to be a major year for California. A shifting federal landscape, combined with increasingly frequent and severe geopolitical and climate impacts, means California and its regions are in a near-constant state of uncertainty. For CA FWD, our work is more important than ever.

In Vision 2026, we outline the programs, projects, and initiatives CA FWD is leading this year. From bioeconomy and battery supply chain strategies, to developing best practices for community benefits agreements, to mobilizing capital for community-led climate resilience projects, our programs serve a common purpose: to build a New California Economy where people across every region and community can prosper, both today and into the future.
