Economic Resilience
Center for Climate Equity and Resilience
Economic resilience means building sustainable capacity within communities and regions to better prepare them to withstand and adapt to changing markets and environments.
The Climate Center @ SDSU is fostering economic resilience by improving economic competitiveness, increasing job quality and access, and prioritizing social equity for communities.
Creating an Equitable, Sustainable Economy
Prioritizing sustainability and productivity
Investing in projects that align with regional strategies and meet criteria for equity, job quality, and sustainability.
Why it Matters
Economic development has been uneven in many regions, where benefits from burgeoning industries are not elevating all communities.
The Center is working to foster long-term economic resilience by addressing income inequality and its associated negative impacts on affordable housing and health.
The Southern Border Coalition fosters long-term economic resilience across San Diego and Imperial Counties and coordinates competitive applications for additional funding from the state government. Funded by California Jobs First and composed of a diverse community of collaborators, the Coalition is working together to create an equitable economic development plan for the region.
