ABOUT

Less than two years ago, a dedicated group of local residents came together to form the Del Mar Climate Committee, driven by a shared commitment to better understand our climate future and raise awareness of the risks we face. Our mission is clear: to inspire immediate action that safeguards our homes, businesses, and the very resilience of our community. 

Twice each year, we host a free, public Climate Action Education Symposium at the Del Mar Civic Center. These events bring together leading scientists, business innovators, researchers, and environmental experts to present the latest findings on climate change, sustainability, conservation, and preparedness. Our symposiums provide residents with a unique opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the shifts occurring around us, what they mean for our future, and, most crucially, how we can proactively prepare for what’s to come. 

Our goal is straightforward yet urgent: to catalyze impactful action within our community—whether that’s transitioning to clean energy, reducing our carbon footprint, or engaging in local and global initiatives that make a difference. Through insightful presentations by renowned experts, we aim to shed light on the climate changes already unfolding and the ones forecasted for the years ahead. The focus is on empowering us all to take meaningful steps toward creating a future where our community thrives in a stable, healthy environment. 

We are keenly aware of the climate risks threatening our vibrant coastal way of life. From subtle shifts to undeniable signs of change, these challenges are real and immediate. It is this shared understanding that fuels our dedication to preserving the environment for generations to come. By uniting, we can strengthen our collective resolve to protect what makes Del Mar special and ensure its future is secure.
