Introduction to the Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment Research Project
-
Climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies are dependent on the best available projections of how climate will change and impact a region’s natural and cultural resources. Understanding the vulnerability of various species and habitats within the Appalachian LCC to climate change is of critical importance. Identifying the most appropriate steps to acquire climate vulnerability information and then using this information to inform adaptation and mitigation strategies is a major research priority of the LCC.

Guide: Making Equity Real in Climate Adaptation and Community Resilience Policies and Programs
-
A Guidebook from the Greenlining Insitute, a nonprofit founded in 1993, that works to create a nation where communities of color thrive and race
is never a barrier to economic opportunity.
To prioritize the climate adaptation and community resilience needs of frontline communities and address the historical neglect they have experienced, we must move beyond embracing equity to making it real. This requires centering community needs and building social equity into the very fabric of policies and grant programs that focus on climate adaptation and resilience. To get there, this Guidebook offers policymakers a blueprint on how to operationalize equity in policies and grant programs

Rio Grande National Forest Adaptation Workshop
-
There is an increasing need to consider the anticipated effects of climate change on ecosystems and identify management actions that respond to these changes. This workshop will support participants from the Rio Grande National Forest in determining which climate impacts are of greatest concern to them, and identify management opportunities for adapting to change. The Adaptation Workbook provides a structured process for integrating climate change considerations into management planning and activities.
