Helping small to medium sized communities create climate resilience plans with an assisted “Do-It-Yourself” approach:
The Practical Guide to Building Climate Resilience
The core element of the Climate Ready Communities program is the comprehensive Practical Guide to Building Climate Resilience. This Guide is structured as a task by task, step by step framework that includes many on-the-ground ideas and free resources for implementing each task. This framework is based on the Whole Community Resilience approach that the ClimateWise team has developed over its years of experience helping communities.
The Guide is available at no cost, making it accessible to all communities regardless of size or budget.
