Maryland’s Plan to Adapt to Saltwater Intrusion and Salinization, first published in 2019 and updated in 2024, provides recommendations for state-level action to better understand the impacts of increasing saltwater intrusion and salinization on different resources and to adapt to these impacts. Saltwater intrusion in the region is expected to worsen over time due to climate change, and the report describes which of the state’s resources are at greatest risk, adaptation measures that are currently in use and recommended, and what additional research is needed for adequate adaptation and resilience.

The North Carolina Climate Risk Assessment and Resilience Plan is the state’s first climate change adaptation plan. It includes the results of vulnerability assessments within 11 critical sectors, climate justice concerns and strategies, and recommendations for nature-based solutions to enhance ecosystem resiliency and sequester carbon in the state’s natural and working lands. North Carolina Governor Cooper’s 2018 Executive Order 80 directed state agencies to integrate climate adaptation and resiliency planning into their policies, programs, and operations; and mandated that the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) lead the development of this climate risk assessment and resiliency plan for the state.

In May 2019, the Santa Monica City Council adopted the Climate Action & Adaptation Plan (CAAP), a living document that outlines strategies for achieving carbon reduction and climate resilience goals by the year 2030. The CAAP traces a pathway to achieving carbon neutrality while also fostering the implementation of a four-pronged climate adaptation framework to address the impacts of climate change experienced by members of the community. Relating to adaptation, the CAAP outlines 8 resilience objectives among four sectors: Climate Ready Community; Water Self-Sufficiency; Coastal Flooding Preparedness; and Low Carbon Food & Ecosystems.
