Nature Improves Resilience to Climate Change - Diagram

The scientific evidence is overwhelming: Our climate is changing, and we are facing significant impacts—from more frequent and severe weather, ocean warming and acidification, extended periods of drought and extreme temperatures, and other deleterious effects of climate change. The ability to prepare for, recover from, and adapt to these impacts is called “climate resilience.” KEC is focused on understanding what we can do locally to mitigate the effects of climate change and strengthen our resilience.
