We provide communities with high quality climate adaptation plans that protect people and nature.

We work to ensure that communities across the country are responding to the threat of climate change in ways that are effective and beneficial over the long-term. Our ClimateWise team helps local leaders understand the likely future climate conditions and develop locally appropriate solutions. We do this by working directly with communities and facilitating their planning processes using our Whole Community Resilience framework.

We are also active in field-wide efforts to ensure that federal programs and funding for adaptation follows best practices like our Whole Community Resilience framework. As one of the early climate change adaptation organizations, we use our leadership to ensure the adaptation field itself continues to promote solutions that work for both people and nature.
