Part of the series provides a framework-oriented process to mainstream climate change considerations within organizations. This resource also highlights how equity can influence community goals and build partnerships with lessons learned and solutions to build equity while adapting to climate change.

The series shares community experiences in deciding to use green stormwater infrastructure, monetizing and quantifying benefits, developing critical stakeholder partnerships, and using available tools to evaluate options to include in adaptation plans.

There is also valuable information and inspiration for greenhouse gas mitigation or sewage thermal energy use projects from concept to implementation.

There is analyses of the impact of extreme temperature events on personnel and critical water utility physical infrastructure assets.

The series also reviews available resources for financial support of adaptation projects, improving understanding of successful strategies and connecting the audience with community-based and sector-focused funding.
