Examples of Climate Adaptation Strategies, Plans, and Actions
Examples of Climate Adaptation Strategies and Plans
Resource managers and local communities across California from the state level to towns and nature preserves are working on addressing the expected consequences of climate change. Each management entity has its own responsibilities, issues, and potential impacts. The first step in this process is to identify the potential impacts under the possible climate change scenarios. The second step is to develop a strategy plan for moving forward proactively to reduce those impacts.
Below we offer examples of the many strategies and plans that have been developed across the state, several case studies of implementation of this climate-smart conservation planning, and recommendations for further reading.
