Assisting communities to adapt to climate change is a challenge we face.

1. Pick a community near you and determine what climate change impacts they may face.

2. What vulnerabilities they may have.

Remember to consider especially vulnerable populations within those communities and identify their specific challenges. (Websites such as CDC’s Climate and Health or EPA’s Climate Change Adaption Resource Center might be helpful.)
