Arizona Wildlife Action Plan 2012-2022
May 16, 2012
Congress charged each state and territory with developing a Wildlife Action Plan in order to receive funds through the Wildlife Conservation and Restoration Program and the State Wildlife Grants Program. These proactive plans, known also as “Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategies,” assess the health of each state’s wildlife and habitats, identify the problems they face, and outline the actions that are needed to conserve them over the long term.

Ocean Beach, California Master Plan
May 2012
The San Francisco Planning and Research Association (SPUR) facilitated a coordinated effort among multiple agencies to create this long-range plan for San Francisco's Ocean Beach, 3. 5 miles of beach and rugged coastline from the Cliff House to Fort Funston. The Ocean Beach Master Plan (OBMP) presents recommendations for the management and protection of Ocean Beach, and addresses the impact of sea level rise, the physical and ecological processes shaping the beach, and improved integration with its natural, recreational, and urban contexts.

EESI-CCAP Report: Preparing Transportation Infrastructure for Increased Climate Risk
May 2012
This report from the Center for Clean Air Policy (CCAP) and the Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI), presents the findings of a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) funded workshop to identify the critical information and technical assistance needs of state and local transportation agencies on climate change adaptation. Discussions between transportation and climate experts from all levels of government, academia, and non-profits are presented, and overall, they recognized that there needs to be a better understanding of climate science, as well as adaptation, in the transportation sector.

National Climate Change Adaptation Research Plan: Settlements and Infrastructure
April 2012
The National Adaptation Research Plan for Settlements and Infrastructure (Settlements NARP) identifies priority research questions for climate change adaptation issues relevant to Australia’s cities, towns and regions - but offers useful adaptive planning strategies and considerations applicable to practitioners elsewhere. The Settlements NARP was developed in 2010 to identify research required to provide decision makers within government, industry and communities with the information they need to effectively respond and adapt to the impacts of climate change on settlements and infrastructure.

Preparing for a Changing Climate: Washington State's Integrated Climate Response Strategy
April 2012
This report was prepared by the Washington Department of Ecology, offering recommendations on how existing state policies and programs can better prepare Washington State to respond to the impacts of climate change. This response strategy was built in collaboration with the state departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Fish and Wildlife, Health, Natural Resources, and Transportation - integrating the recommendations of the four advisory groups. It also utilizes the best available science on climate impacts from the Washington Climate Change Impacts Assessment, as well as Washington’s initial adaptation plan developed in 2008 under Executive Order 07-02.

Oregon Dept. of Transportation Climate Change Adaptation Strategy Report
April 2012
The Oregon Department of Transportation’s (ODOT) Climate Change Adaptation Strategy Report is intended to provide a preliminary assessment of likely climate change impacts on ODOT assets and operations and adaptation strategies. ODOT is responsible for more than 19,000 lane miles of state highway, 2,700 bridges, thousands of culverts, and other critical infrastructure. All of this infrastructure is potentially vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, such as increased incidence of landslides, flooding, coastal erosion, and wildfires.

A Framework for Considering Climate Change in Transportation and Land Use Scenario Planning: Lessons Learned from an Interagency Pilot Project on Cape Cod: Final Report
March 2012
The Interagency Transportation, Land Use, and Climate Change Pilot Project utilized a scenario planning process to develop a multi-agency transportation and land use focused development strategy for Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The intention of the project is to achieve a reduction in future greenhouse gas emissions while also considering the potential impacts of sea-level rise on the region. To help develop long-term mitigation and adaptation strategies, the Volpe Center of the Department of Transportation worked with a team of federal, regional, and state stakeholders to execute this scenario planning pilot project on Cape Cod in order to integrate climate change considerations into existing and continuing transportation, land use, coastal zone, and hazard mitigation planning processes.
