Summary: After a butterfly species disappeared from a location where it had been found for many years, conservation professionals accessed climate projections to identify potential habitat for its recovery.

Strong evidence suggests that mountain areas are warming more quickly than lower elevations—with serious consequences for water supplies. But historical weather observations from mountain ranges are limited, leaving scientists with plenty of questions.

Summary: Examine detailed maps of of New York and New Jersey to see areas impacted by flooding from Superstorm Sandy and areas likely to be inundated by four different sea level rise scenarios.

Summary: This planning process can help local decision makers link outcomes such as sea level rise and increased stormwater runoff to consequences in their community, and then identify strategies for adaptation and hazard management.

Summary: Network members post unique or unusual environmental events onto public, web-based maps. The network provides a model for connecting community members with technical experts and resources.

Summary: Tribes, agencies, and organizations can use this guide as a framework to increase understanding of issues relating to access and protection of traditional knowledges in climate initiatives.
