Rapid Coastal Community Climate Adaptation : How the Great Lakes Climate Corps Accelerates Community Resiliency

Abstract

The Great Lakes Climate Corps has demonstrated how even underserved coastal communities can quickly adapt to a changing climate. From weatherizing low-income housing to installing solar panels, from planting trees to restoring shorelines, from K-12 climate literacy to hands-on community adaptation projects. Learn how any community can move from theory to practice and from vulnerable to resilient! The Superior Watershed Partnership serves coastal communities and Native American tribes on Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, and Lake Huron.
