I will discuss the historical and current state of the climate in the UC Berkeley astronomy department. I will describe various programs in the department aimed at improving and safeguarding climate (department-wide climate survey, advising structure, small council, mandatory Title IX reporting) and provide quantitive and anecdotal evidence of their effectiveness and outcomes. Questions and discussion throughout the talk are highly encouraged.
