US Climate Resilience Toolkit


The Surfers Point Managed Shoreline Retreat project is featured as a nationwide case study in a website outlining ways that individuals, businesses, and communities can respond to the challenges of our changing climate.







In response to the President’s Climate Action Plan and Executive Order to help the nation prepare for climate-related changes and impacts, U.S. federal government agencies, led by the Office of Science and Technology Policy and the Council on Environmental Quality, gathered resources that can help people take action to build their climate resilience. The impacts of climate change—including higher temperatures, heavier downpours, more frequent and intense droughts, wildfires, and floods, and sea level rise—are affecting communities, businesses, and natural resources across the nation.
