US EPA maintains a website that focuses on essential information for coastal communities planning for the effects of climate change.
EcoAdapt conducted a survey with the Strong, Prosperous, and Resilient Communities Challenge to determine if and how people working to address displacement pressures are considering the effects of climate change. This survey is part of a broader project in collaboration with the Urban Displacement Project to better understand the intersections between climate change and displacement pressures.
Managed retreat is the coordinated process of voluntarily and equitably relocating people, structures, and infrastructure away from vulnerable coastal areas in response to episodic or chronic threats to facilitate the transition of individual people, communities, and ecosystems (both species and habitats) inland.
The Georgetown Climate Center maintains the Equitable Adaptation Legal & Policy Toolkit, which highlights best and emerging practice examples of how cities are addressing disproportionate socioeconomic risk to climate impacts and engaging overburdened communities.
The Climate Resilience Implementation Guide provides step-by-step instructions to assist communities in implementing nature-based solutions. Grantees are encouraged to use this Guide for suggestions on how to effectively use Community Planning and Development (CPD)-funded programs and other resources to design and implement nature-based solutions.
