This report summarizes the state of knowledge of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) in the context of coastal climate adaptation in the United States and identifies numerous challenges and opportunities.

Climate change-induced warmer temperatures are causing many plants in temperate climates to exhibit spring behavior. This change in the timing of plant development produces ripple effects that impact health, culture, livelihoods, and food security. New research is increasing our understanding of plant phenology and allowing for informed decision-making and adaptation strategies.

In this piece for Yale Climate Connections, AGCI Climate Science Fellows Tanya Petach & Emilio Mateo review how scientists are bridging the research-practice boundary to lessen the pain of climate change and the 23-year megadrought it has fueled in the Colorado River basin

Working on the front lines of the growing climate crisis is emotionally and spiritually demanding. We recently spoke with AGCI Affiliate Susanne Moser, lead organizer and facilitator of the Adaptive Mind workshop, to understand the skills and capacities needed to navigate the turbulent, traumatic, and transformative challenges of climate change with resilience.

Emerging research is beginning to shed light on actions that consumers and producers alike can take to reduce food system impacts on the climate. Emissions are generated at every stage of the food system, from the production on farm to the food you scrape off your plate.

Leading Practices in Climate Adaptation

As the climate changes in both new and anticipated ways, the best course of action…

Over three years, I visited over 70 coastal communities to ask people about their experience with climate change. My interview partners reshaped my understanding of climate resilience.

New research showcases how coupling existing state efforts to accelerate renewable energy adoption in underserved low-income communities and to replace aging gas distribution networks with district heating and cooling could transform overburdened communities into high energy-performance communities that are safer and more resilient.

Renewable energy communities (RECs) have the potential to empower communities and benefit energy-vulnerable and energy-poor households. Recent research and review articles look at how this plays out in practice.
