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.
Local and state governments can implement a broad range of resilience actions to address impacts from various climate hazards. Viable resilience options for many hazards include nature-based solutions. In practice, these solutions use natural systems or processes to lessen impacts of natural hazards, such as relying on natural floodplains or engineered reservoirs to capture and infiltrate rainfall to prevent flooding.
Offered by US Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Guide includes a video intended as additional guidance for communities that are using the Climate Resilience Implementation Guide to adopt nature-based solutions.
