infrastructure investment, climate resilience, and equitable opportunity across communities. California Forward manages initiatives such as the California Economic Summit and the California Stewardship Network, which bring stakeholders together to align strategies and share data. The group produces research, policy frameworks, and toolkits that inform public decisions and help translate regional needs into statewide reforms. It also supports efforts to improve civic engagement, governance effectiveness, and long-term planning. Through these activities, California Forward aims to reduce geographic and racial disparities in economic outcomes while strengthening the state’s fiscal and environmental sustainability.
