California Forward

CA FWD is the interconnective tissue between the state and its regions. In collaboration with diverse partners—including our California Stewardship Network and leaders from business, community, government, labor, philanthropy, and others—we work to build fiscal and energy resilience in the face of our ever-changing climate and economy. We do this through a regions-up approach: connecting and convening regional stakeholders for shared learning and engagement, and catalyzing structural change.Each year we host the California Economic Summit, our flagship annual event where we work with our partners to continue improving and developing programs, policies, resources, and solutions for a truly sustainable economic model.From our Energy Project Benefits Agreement Database, an online tool allowing the public to search examples of benefits agreements from across the energy supply chain; to our wildfire policy brief that contains recommendations to reduce community risk and improve economic outcomes; to Investor Exchanges aimed at connecting regional partners investors and capital, our programs and projects build stronger and more resilient economies across all of California.
