The Regional Resilience Summit

Across Southern California, communities are confronting real and mounting pressures — from wildfire and heat to strained water systems, uneven energy access, and fragile food supply — and building the processes and solutions to meet them.

The Regional Resilience Summit brings together entrepreneurs, investors, government leaders, and community organizations around three urgent challenges: weather-resilient infrastructure, reliable and equitable energy systems, and clean air, safe water, and sustainable food.

At the center are Larta’s Venture Fellows — entrepreneurs whose ground-truthed ingenuity is forged both in the communities most affected and in the broader work of piloting and proving what works. The Summit is where that resourcefulness meets the public agencies, funders, and frontline communities shaping the region’s response — one relationship, one pilot, one commitment at a time.

What does it take to build a more resilient region?

Throughout the day, the Regional Resilience Summit will explore five interconnected dimensions of resilience, pairing ecosystem perspectives with solutions from Larta’s Venture Fellows.

From climate risk intelligence and resilient infrastructure to carbon capture and emissions reduction, water resilience, food and land systems, and distributed renewable energy, each thematic block will examine both the challenge and the innovations helping move solutions into practice.
