The Report
Science helps us better understand climate change and our options.
The report shares the science of climate change, how science can be used in community decision-making, and the range of response options – drawing on specific communities as examples of different approaches.
These stories – involving local governments, nonprofits, businesses and the public – demonstrate a range of climate responses at the community level, and present solutions and approaches that could be adapted for other communities.
How You Respond
Working together, we can reduce the risks current and future generations face and make our communities healthier, safer and more equitable places to live.
