Local communities need to adapt to climate change now.
We help community-based organizations invent, share and grow replicable, climate adaptation solutions.
Climate mitigation is global, but climate adaptation is local
No two communities are alike – ecologically, socially or economically. What works for one may not work for another, but by compiling a full spectrum of solutions, each community can select the practices that work best for them – or, invent new ones to share.
We work with community-based nonprofits and local leaders
We offer information, access to resources and pro bono service to land trusts, social entrepreneurs, tribes, neighborhood initiatives, regional planners, academics, private-public partnerships, local government agencies, farming and fishing associations, communities of faith and more.
Our Flagship Project: The Microhabitat Program Incubator
A gathering place and central resource for established and emerging microhabitat programs to share ideas, lessons and expertise.
