“A Practical Guide to Building Climate Resilience”

The free resource “A Practical Guide to Building Climate Resilience” is built on the Geos Institute’s Whole Community Resilience framework and walks you through creating a climate resilience plan for your community. We have built it as a Do-It-Yourself guide, pointing readers to free resources where available and incorporating lessons learned from experts in the climate resilience field.

Each step covers a number of tasks, from creating your task force and finding climate data to hosting workshops and community engagement.

Yes, I want to build resilience in my community and I’ll start by reviewing the Guide!
