We are helping ensure that all communities, no matter their location, wealth, or size, can access the help they need to build climate resilience by leading the development of a nationwide system that supports local governments by strengthening existing climate services within each state, connecting those resources, and filling in the gaps.

We bring Whole Community Resilience to local governments through an assisted “Do-It-Yourself” approach with 3 elements:

• The comprehensive Practical Guide to Building Climate Resilience
• Support Package with templates and tutorials
• Additional support services

We work to ensure that communities across the country are responding to the threat of climate change by building resilience in ways that are effective and beneficial over the long-term for people and nature. Our team supports community leaders in understanding likely future conditions and developing locally appropriate solutions.

We believe that watershed restoration is an important and effective way to provide clean, inexpensive drinking water to communities and protect native fish populations, particularly when downstream and upstream users work together. The Partnership coordinates an annual, competitive grant solicitation and award program for environmental conservation and restoration projects in municipal watersheds across the Northwest.
