Climate Change

This guide provides a framework to help communities assess their economic vulnerability to climate change and establish strategies to become more resilient to issues. It consists of five steps:

  1. Organize;
  2. Evaluate projected climate change impacts and hazards;
  3. Identify community assets and their vulnerability;
  4. Analyze overall economic implications for the community; and
  5. Explore options to enhance resilience and pursue opportunities.
