Louisiana’s Strategic Adaptations for Future Environments
Louisiana’s Strategic Adaptations for Future Environment (LA SAFE) supplements Louisiana’s 2012 Coastal Master Plan by serving as a generalized framework for land use and community development along Louisiana’s coast. Recognizing that not all vulnerable areas can be protected from flood risks, the report outlines three different development strategies - Retreat, Retrofit, or Resettle. Based upon the expected flood inundation from a 100-year storm event over the next 50 years, the strategies respond to three typological zones: Retreat from areas projected to experience more than 14 feet of flood inundation; Retrofit places of economic and cultural value projected to experience between 3 and 14 feet of flood inundation; and Resettle to maximize underdeveloped areas and high-ground corridors that are projected to experience less than 3 feet of flood inundation.

North Carolina Climate and Health Adaptation Plan
2016
The North Carolina Department of Health developed this Adaptation Plan as a part of the Building Resilience Against Climate Effects (BRACE) framework. This report builds off of the previous North Carolina Climate and Health Profile Report by prioritizing and recommending options to avoid or mitigate the state’s climate-related health impacts. Air quality and respiratory diseases, along with heat-related deaths and illnesses, are North Carolina’s top climate-related health priorities. The purpose of this adaptation plan is to provide the department with information to identify and implement adaptation strategies for climate-related health impacts across the state.

Climate Change and Agriculture, Including Aquaculture and Fisheries, in New Jersey
January 2016
The Rutgers Climate Institute put together this fact sheet to provide a brief and accessible summary of the impacts of climate change on agriculture in New Jersey, which includes climate effects that will impact crops, livestock, aquaculture, and fisheries. It explores the primary climate change risks to agriculture and fisheries in the state, and provides short summaries on how these sectors can both adapt to climate risks and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

North Rim Ranches Climate Change Adaptation Plan - northern Arizona
2016
This report from the Grand Canyon Trust presents a landscape-scale climate change adaptation plan for the North Rim Ranches. This area north of the Grand Canyon National Park is defined by livestock grazing permits held by the Trust that comprises 830,000 acres of predominantly USFS and BLM public lands in the southern Colorado Plateau in northern Arizona. With a mission to protect and restore the Colorado Plateau, the Grand Canyon Trust created this plan to guide the integration of climate adaptation into their conservation planning and livestock management.

BCDC Adapting to Rising Tides Program
2010
The San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) Adapting to Rising Tides (ART) program is focused on helping shoreline communities in the San Francisco Bay area, spanning 10 California counties, to plan for sea-level rise and other climate impacts. Since 2010, the ART Program leads and supports multi-sector, cross-jurisdictional projects that build local and regional capacity in the SF Bay Area to plan for and implement adaptation responses. ART evaluates potential shoreline impacts, vulnerabilities, and risks; identifies effective adaptation strategies that will lead to stronger, more resilient shoreline communities; and develops adaptation planning tools and resources that are useful to communities throughout the Bay Area.

Colorado State Wildlife Action Plan: A Strategy for Conserving Wildlife in Colorado
2015
Colorado’s State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP) summarizes the most crucial aspects of biodiversity conservation in Colorado over the next 10 years. The plan aims to address the impacts to, and develop near and long-term strategies for, the state’s Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) - which are the species of highest conservation priority in Colorado. This SWAP was coordinated by Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) - who have chosen 55 of the SGCN to focus their efforts on, considering these species as “Tier 1” or as being in the most critical condition in terms of severity of threats and population decline.

San Diego, California Climate Action Plan
December 2015
The City of San Diego, California Climate Action Plan is a strategy to meet greenhouse gas reduction targets, and to achieve resiliency to climate change impacts. The CAP provides strategies for the City to collaborate with communities in assessing vulnerability to future climate change, developing overarching adaptation strategies and implementing measures to enhance resilience. A chapter dedicated to climate change adaptation identifies climate impacts for San Diego, illustrates current climate adaptation efforts throughout the state, and provides a guide to adaptation and resiliency strategy development.

Seattle Extreme Heat Scenario-Based Pilot-Project in Frontline Communities - Racial Equity Mini Evaluation
December 2015
The Seattle, Washington Extreme Heat Scenario-Based Pilot-Project was commissioned by the City of Seattle Office of Sustainability and Environment, funded in part by the Urban Sustainability Directors Network, and conducted by Equity Matters. It was commissioned as a pilot program to understand how municipal agencies, including Public Health - Seattle and King County, and the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency, can better support low-income communities and communities of color during extreme heat events.
