Across the country, government agencies, partners and stakeholders are taking action to prepare for and respond to the impacts of a changing climate on the nation’s valuable natural resources and the people who depend on them.
The following table lists the title, location, submitting agency, and habitat type for all of the case studies that were submitted during the production of the 2014 Taking Action report. The table is arranged by location and divided in to seven different regions. For more information about any of these projects, to request a list of partners, or to share a case study or example of adaptation in your area, please contact us.
