the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5) includes an </em><a href="https://nca2023.globalchange.gov/art-climate/"><em>Art × Climate</em></a><em> gallery. The gallery collection features the work of 92 artists, selected from more than 800 submissions. This work may only be reproduced or re-used in connection with the Fifth National Climate Assessment. Any other use must be negotiated with the author.</em></p> <p>Plans for addressing climate change not only include actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Some planners are placing growing emphasis on adaptation: reducing risks from today’s climate conditions and preparation for future impacts. NCA5’s <a href="https://nca2023.globalchange.gov/chapter/31/">Adaptation</a> chapter explains that activities are occurring across the United States although many have so far been small in scale and incremental in approach.</p> <p>Linda Gass completed this installation over 2017-2023 using ornamental grass and wood chip mulch. This is the artist’s statement: </p> <blockquote><p>The meandering line of dark green plants is a living art installation that marks the historical shoreline of San Francisco Bay at Cooley Landing, a former landfill site in East Palo Alto, CA. From 1932 to 1960, the wetlands were filled by a garbage dump, creating an artificial peninsula. Using maps from 1857 and present-day satellite images, the artist located the historical shoreline. Youth and adult volunteers joined her to plant a California native plant, <em>Juncus patens</em>, along this placement.</p></blockquote> <p>Today, the site has been reclaimed and turned into a park where native vegetation is being returned to the area to help manage the effects of rising sea levels. Similar work is occurring <a href="https://www.sfbayrestore.org/projects/regionally-advancing-living-shorelines-san-francisco-bay-project">at sites all around San Francisco Bay.</a> </p> </div> </div>
