Project Learning Tree and the University of Florida developed this secondary module to help educators in the Southeast teach about:

* Climate change impacts on forest ecosystems
* The role of forests in sequestering carbon
* Strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to changing climatic conditions

The module explores these concepts…

The CLEAN Collection is a high-quality and rigorously reviewed collection of climate and energy educational resources aligned with the Climate Literacy and the Energy Literacy frameworks, and the Next Generation Science Standards. Through the peer-review process scientists and educators ensure scientific accuracy, pedagogic effectiveness, and classroom readiness for each resource.

Soil characterization, vegetation monitoring, on-farm record keeping.

Due to significant levels of tree mortality during the 2012 to 2016 California drought, there is now a need to reforest in areas where much of the forest overstory has been lost. The toolkit consists of three resources that can be used individually or together to inform reforestation decisions in context of tree mortality and climate change. First, the reforestation prioritization tool was…

ShoreZone provides a baseline inventory of the biology and geology for the entire Pacific coast, from Oregon to Alaska. The maps, coastal data, and images can be used for coastal management, including adaptation planning, restoration, conservation, recreation, and more. Climate-induced processes are contributing to dynamic coastal changes, like increasing storm frequency, coastal erosion, habitat…

The U.S. Drought Monitor (USDM) is a map released every Thursday, showing parts of the U.S. that are in drought. The map uses five classifications: abnormally dry (D0), showing areas that may be going into or are coming out of drought, and four levels of drought: moderate (D1), severe (D2), extreme (D3) and exceptional (D4). It is produced jointly by the National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC)…

The Future Crop Suitability tool provides mapped and graphical summaries of the climatic suitability for cultivating selected tree/shrub specialty crops across the west. The tool allows users to explore aspects of future crop requirements and limitations for development. It provides information on how often climatic conditions are suitable for crop success and what the limiting factors for…

Climate change has impacted and will continue to impact indigenous peoples, their lifeways and culture, and the natural world upon which they rely, in unpredictable and potentially devastating ways. Many climate adaptation planning tools fail to address the unique needs, values and cultures of indigenous communities.

This Tribal Climate Adaptation Menu, which was developed by a…
