The research objectives of this project include:

  • Assess how cities in the SCIPP region are including community voices within their climate adaptation planning.
  • Understand how community groups experience climate change impacts, and the extent that these experiences reflect the ways cities conceptualize climate adaptation.
  • Develop ways to improve climate adaptation planning.

This project will assess what climate adaptation activities are already happening and how communities are integrated in these planning activities (or how they could be). We will work with community partners to create resources for community planning and monitoring of federal resources and opportunities and engage with communities to co-produce knowledge on climate risk and vulnerability.

* This project was included in a prior theme under previous award conditions.
