Welcome to the California Vineyard & Winery Climate Action Toolkit! 
 

The impacts of climate change are already being felt throughout California's wine industry and beyond. This toolkit is designed for California vineyards and wineries to better understand and address the impacts of climate change. By using the toolkit, you can create a climate action plan, which will identify and prioritize climate smart practices, include guidance on implementation, and ultimately build resiliency to thrive in a changing climate. 

 

The toolkit supports winegrowers who are at different starting points in addressing climate change: those just beginning to understand the impacts of climate change on their business, those with climate action strategies in place, and all of those in between. Please visit the “How to Use” page to determine the best place in the toolkit to begin.

What is Climate Action for Vineyards & Wineries?
 

Climate action involves implementing practices, such as those shown below, that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, sequester carbon and prepare for the impacts of climate change. In addition to integrating climate smart strategies throughout your business, climate action can also include raising awareness within your organization and with customers and suppliers.
