Bounce Forward: View as a [PDF]
While climate change is a global problem, its effects are—and increasingly will be—felt locally in communities across the United States and around the globe. Just as federal- and state-level action on climate change is required, cities also play a critical role in mitigating climate change and helping society prepare for those impacts that it is too late to prevent.
Given this important role of cities, the Kresge Environment Program has focused its efforts to help communities build their resilience in the face of climate change.
