CLIMATE CHANGE
in the California South Coast region
The South Coast region of California, with nearly 18 million residents, is the primary population center and hub of global commerce. Experts from the Risky Business Project warn that climate change will greatly affect this region.
ACCELERATED SEA-‐LEVEL RISE
0.5 to 0.9 ft projected sea-level rise in
Los Angeles by 2050
1-‐in-‐20 chance of tail risk of 3.7 feet in
Los Angeles by 2050
80% risk of multi-decal drought in the Southwest between 2015-2099
CHANGING PRECIPITATION PATTERNS
Decrease in spring runoff &
higher evaporation of
reservoirs
Less groundwater available for
drinking
By the end of the century electricity costs will increase for commercial businesses by
10-‐24%
The number of days
above 95°will
increase by 2 or 3 times their current levels
temperatures create stress on electrical infrastructure, decreasing their operating efficiency
RISING TEMPERATURES
RISING ELECTRICITY COSTS
I N C R E A S I N G
3,500 additional deaths per year due to heat-related
mortality if we continue our current emissions track
