Bald Head Island Conservancy: Catalyzing Small Changes in Climate Change Adaptation
To support climate change adaptation planning the Bald Head Island Conservancy has developed a comprehensive public outreach campaign to help educate community members about potential impacts to the island and individual choices that can help improve the socioecological system’s resilience.
Changing Temperatures
Trends indicating warming temperatures have been observed on land and in the ocean and surface waters. These changes drive other impacts as well and may negatively affect ecosystems and species.
Climate Change Action in Coastal Habitats: Additional Resources and Websites
Resource list highlighting additional resources from federal agency partners addressing conservation in a changing climate.
Climate change effects on biodiversity, ecosystems, ecosystem services, and natural resource management in the United States
This nation-wide assessment from leading biologists from National Climate Adaptation Science Center (NCASC), discusses how climate-induced impacts on ecosystems and biodiversity affect the availability of nature’s beneficial services to society and provides recommendations to support adaptive management efforts to mitigate these effects.
Climate Change Resource Center
The United States Forest Service’s (USFS) Climate Change Resource Center (CCRC) is a collection of forest management resources. It includes an extensive library, climate change and carbon tools, webinars and short courses by topic area and ecosystem, as well as an introductory webinar for new users.
Coastal Areas Impacts and Climate Change Adaptation Website
The Coastal Areas Impacts and Climate Change Adaptation Website offers assessments of climate change impacts and adaptation efforts by region or by sector. It also provides additional resources, including an adaptation overview, which highlights examples of adaptation and ongoing adaptation efforts.
Coastal Resilience
The Nature Conservancy’s Coastal Resilience Network provides geographically targeted resources to address ecological and socio-economic risks of coastal hazards through raising awareness, assessing risk, identifying choices, and taking action.
Coastal Vulnerability Maps and Study – U.S. East Coast and Texas
Coastal Vulnerability Maps and Study shows the elevation of coastal areas from Massachusetts to Florida as well as Texas. A sea level rise planning study which integrates information related to land use, zoning, and anticipated development to determine the future likelihood of shore protection and prevention of inland wetland migration is also included.
Effects of Climate Variability and Change on Forest Ecosystems
This report details challenges of changing climatic conditions primarily in terms of rural forests, but urban forests ecosystems are also mentioned. Climate variability, its impacts, and risk management strategies are discussed by region.
