U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit

Access information on community-based monitoring initiatives of environmental and social factors across the Arctic region.

Coastal managers considering shore protection projects can work with civil engineers to model and measure the potential costs and benefits of protecting existing infrastructure against erosion. Using Beach-fx to generate a realistic model requires substantial data development and analysis. Training is typically required.

Organizations that manage environmental resources can use this guide to prepare a broad, risk-based adaptation plan.

Estimate the health impacts and economic value of changes in air quality with this downloadable software. Training resources can help new users document the potential benefits of community efforts to improve air quality.

View maps and statistics on weather and climate disasters since 1980 where overall costs reached or exceeded $1 billion.

Compare and analyze biomass feedstocks, biofuels infrastructure, and biofuels use in the United States on this interactive map. Users can zoom to a region or state and conduct a range of simple analyses with selected data.

Coastal managers can use this Excel® spreadsheet file to estimate the potential carbon storage of a wetland region.

Visit this website from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to learn about building project and community resilience.

Ask these questions to help get the risk conversation started. Get people to open up, share their concerns, and talk about what matters to them.

Generate maps showing where invasive plant species occur in California and explore projections showing suitable ranges for invasive species in the future.

Examine estimates for total carbon storage in forests in the contiguous United States, and trends of how stored carbon changed from 1990 to 2013.

Access outputs, inputs, and/or code for this carbon dioxide measuring and modeling system that tracks sources and sinks around the globe.

Interactive maps including satellite imagery, airborne imagery, and data from drones and divers are available to help advance ocean conservation and climate adaptation.

Cattle producers in the contiguous United States can consult maps to anticipate when heat stress may affect their animals.

CeNCOOS provides real-time information and forecasts for harmful algal blooms, advances integrated assessment tools for Marine Protected Areas, and facilitates animal telemetry and other emerging technologies.

This guide and the accompanying documents and spreadsheets can help Department of Defense installation managers incorporate climate considerations into integrated natural resource management plans.

Marine Protected Area managers can use this collection of tools to evaluate the vulnerability of their sites to climate change, identify appropriate adaptation strategies, and learn about those strategies through case studies, reports, and other resources.
