Description:
The intent of this guide is to provide an overview of the kinds of nature-based approaches that can be used to respond to and prepare for the impacts of climate change in urban areas. Although this guide is not exhaustive, it highlights common examples, profile approaches that communities are already using, and describes strategies that communities can use to implement nature-based approaches.
