SAN DIEGO – The San Diego Foundation and the International Community Foundation today formed the Binational Resilience Initiative, intended to preserve the California-Baja coast for current residents and future generations.
“The capacity of the Cali-Baja region’s ability to adapt and persist through changing circumstances does not stop at the border,” said Mark Stuart, president and CEO of the San Diego Foundation. “We are committed to partnering with our colleagues at International Community Foundation to address our cross-border region’s climate vulnerabilities by empowering binational collaborations between civil organizations, scientists, community leaders and other stakeholders.
“The U.S.-Mexico border region is home to incredible innovation, leadership, resourcefulness and creativity,” said Marisa Quiroz, president and CEO of International Community Foundation. “Together our communities face multiple environmental, economic and social challenges that are further exacerbated by the impacts of a changing climate.
