Resilient communities integrate climate considerations into every part of their daily activities. Learn strategies to improve your community’s climate resilience through your existing assets and programs. Check out our handbook, worksheet and factsheets.

Mitigation and adaptation overtakes innovation. Private sector investments in mitigation are catching up to public sector downpayment. These bets are taking place because the market believes climate solutions are not being implemented fast enough. https://buff.ly/3YwDnYS

Today, the TPB approved the Transportation Resilience Improvement Plan (TRIP) to better prepare the region's transportation system for the impacts of climate change. Learn more about this first of its kind effort: https://bit.ly/3REoXSq

Interested in climate resilience in construction? 🏗 🌦 EHAB and Alexandra Gautier have written a comprehensive report. The perception of climate risk is almost as important as the risk itself. The data is clear, but the industry is not prepared. There is a perception that climate change will impact the industry in the long term, but the impact is here, now. If we don’t start changing our practices then companies will face the full force of nature and suffer the consequences.

Climate adaptation is critical to ensure that communities, businesses and natural systems are resilient to the impacts of #ClimateChange, including more frequent and severe flooding, heatwaves, and other extreme weather events. However, the UK faces significant challenges in adapting to climate change. While current policy is coordinated via the National Adaptation Programme (NAP) in England, there remain critical gaps in implementation and effectiveness. Imperial Policy Forum & the Grantham Institute convened a series of workshops to identify priorities for future research in climate adaptation, with a focus on integrating climate resilience into health, water management, and the built environment.

A recent subject I am researching is climate resiliency and using GIS in Planning to help address it. It's interesting to read New Jersey's Climate Resiliency plan and thought I would share the link. https://lnkd.in/eraMbCg6

How crucial is soil temperature monitoring in tackling climate change? 🌍 As our ecosystems face unprecedented threats from rising temperatures and permafrost thawing, understanding soil temperature fluctuations becomes essential. Our latest blog (https://bit.ly/4bvCHGX) delves into the critical role of soil temperature data in climate research and how innovative monitoring solutions can aid in climate resilience. Discover how soil temperature insights are paving the way for effective mitigation strategies. Read more on our blog: https://bit.ly/4bvCHGX!

By 2030, the demand for freshwater may outstrip supply by 40%. The Pacific Institute's new strategic plan, running through 2026, is focused on ensuring that people, nature, and economies have the water they need to thrive – even in the face of climate change.

🌍 The Water Crisis: How Climate Change is Impacting Water Supply 🌍 Climate change is putting unprecedented pressure on our water supply. Rising temperatures and extreme weather events are intensifying droughts and contaminating freshwater sources, threatening both communities and ecosystems. According to the National Climate Assessment, severe downpours heighten flood risks and increase contaminants in our water, while UN Water highlights effective water management as critical to climate resilience. At DuroMem, we recognize the urgent need for adaptive water solutions. We’re committed to helping industries and municipalities combat this crisis. Let's fix our water problem together💧 Eco-Friendly and Economic-Friendly For more information, check out these resources: National Climate Assessment: https://lnkd.in/gDUqfyNT UN Water: https://lnkd.in/dXTG4yGp #ClimateChange #WaterCrisis #WaterQuality #Sustainability #DuroMem
