Heavier spring flooding. Hotter, drier summers. Shifting growing seasons. These are just a few of the consequences of a warming climate. Unparalleled environmental change threaten local and global public health, species diversity, natural systems, and communities moving forward. With proper planning, we can adapt, and withstand the wide-ranging impacts of climate change that threaten our economy, health, and infrastructure.
