Abstract
This National Climate Resilience Framework is a vision for a climate resilient Nation designed to guide and align climate resilience investments and activities by the federal government and its partners. The Framework identifies common principles and specific actions to expand and accelerate progress towards six objectives: 1. Embed climate resilience into planning and management. 2. Increase resilience of the built environment to both acute climate shocks and chronic stressors. 3.Mobilize capital, investment, and innovation to advance climate resilience at scale. 4. Equip communities with information and resources needed to assess their climate risks and develop the climate resilience solutions most appropriate for them. 5. Protect and sustainably manage lands and waters to enhance resilience, while providing numerous other benefits; 6.Help communities become not only more resilient, but also more safe, healthy, equitable, and economically strong.
The opportunities for actions are proposed in the Framwork, including: Advance and simplify community climate planning; Strengthen interagency coordination bodies to support community resilience; Incorporate climate information into engineering and architectural standards and planning practice; Support climate-resilient land use and zoning reforms to sustainably densify development in lower-risk areas; Increase access to early-stage capital for climate adaptation and resilience; Train additional technical assistance providers; Emphasize meaningful involvement and community engagement in public participatory approaches to drive implementation of resilience and adaptation programs and services; Continue to support locally-led conservation and restoration efforts through the America the Beautiful Initiative; Integrate changing climatic conditions into natural resource management plans; Ensure access to lifeline services remains stable through both acute and chronic climatic events; Facilitate access to funding and technical assistance for community-driven relocation; etc.
