Georgetown Climate Center Releases Suite of Climate Adaptation Resources
Tuesday, 01 November 2011 00:00

The Georgetown Climate Center launched the Adaptation Clearinghouse, a new online database and networking tool that will help communities adapt to climate change, earlier this month. The nearly 1,000 adaptation resources available through the Adaptation Clearinghouse are geared toward state and local planners and policymakers and can be sorted by geography, sector, impact, and more. CSO is pleased to partner with the Georgetown Climate Center on the coastal section of the Clearinghouse. The Georgetown Climate Center also released two new adaptation reports, both of which can be found in the Adaptation Clearinghouse.  “Adaptation Case Studies in the Western United States” explores water shortages in the West and the protection of the greater sage grouse. The report looks at the policies and unique approaches being adopted in Colorado and Wyoming to meet these challenges. The “Adaptation Tool Kit: Sea-Level Rise and Coastal Land Use” explores 18 land use tools that communities can use to prepare for rising sea levels and the flooding that will result from climate change.
