This site aims to provide introductory tools about climate change to the conservation community and offer resources to support learning and planning needs. The “Get Started” section offers guidance sorted into four main categories: Learn, Plan, Adapt, and Inspire. You can also browse resources and guidance by Climate Impacts, Land Types, and Regions, read Case Studies to learn what other land trusts are doing, or search your terms or resource types of interest using the Search Page, or take a Self-Assessment to find resources to help get you started.
Despite uncertainties about pace and magnitude, climate change is real. Land trusts should understand and account for climate changes in their work.
