California Regional Adaptation Collaborative Toolkit

Groups interested in forming local or regional adaptation networks can build on this framework. Developed in California, the framework can be used elsewhere to help groups learn of successful strategies and adapt them for their own use.

The goal of this Toolkit—from the California-based Alliance of Regional Collaboratives for Climate Adaptation (ARCCA)—is to share information and intelligence among five California regions on climate adaptation best practices and lessons learned. Through the ARCCA network, regions share innovative and successful strategies and determine how those strategies could be adapted to another region’s particular needs in order to reduce reinvention of the adaptation “wheel” while preserving regional identity and context.
