]]> Local governments across the United States are bearing increasing costs of extreme weather disasters while facing a global transition to a low-carbon economy.

Equipped with more information on how these and other climate-related factors present financial risks and opportunities, local leaders can improve their decision-making, risk management, and project prioritization.

This C2ES primer is designed to help communities protect their fiscal health and position themselves for a thriving future by better identifying and assessing financial risks and opportunities related to climate change.

The primer is organized as follows:

  1. How local governments can benefit from understanding the impacts of climate-related financial risks and opportunities
  2. Potential financial impacts from climate-related risks and opportunities
  3. Science-based tools and other resources for local governments and public sector entities to assess climate risks and opportunities
  4. Climate risk assessment and disclosure and its evolution for local governments in the United States
  5. What’s needed to enable strong fiscal management at the local level as climate impacts and economic shifts accelerate

This primer’s resource tables are available here.

]]> Climate change-fueled extreme weather and climate impacts take their toll on communities throughout the United States and on the companies that anchor them. Given the scale of threats facing communities and businesses, it is critical that private sector fully activate resources to address this challenge. In response, major companies are developing strategies to build resilience to climate impacts in the places where they operate, employ, and maintain supply chains.

This brief, An Emerging Blueprint for Companies: Strategies to Advance Local Climate Resilience, outlines how corporate resources, funding, and expertise can make a difference.

It identifies seven leadership strategies that companies are already using to help communities across the country assess climate risks, build local capacity, and accelerate resilience projects.

]]> Communities across the United States are facing catastrophic extreme weather events that are growing in intensity and frequency due to climate change. Improving climate resilience can alleviate the impact of these events, but federal policies and programs fall short of supporting the level of action needed to help communities overcome planning and implementation challenges. This brief provides an action plan for how the federal government can accelerate local climate resilience. This plan includes: working effectively and strategically to administer government resources; providing leadership to address gaps and drive the direction of resilience action; addressing inequities that put low-income and marginalized communities at higher risk; and acting as a strong partner to catalyze resilience action by local, tribal, and state governments and the private sector.
