Climate change has implications for both the effectiveness and hazard risk potential of many projects and activities undertaken or reviewed by natural resource management agencies. Failing to evaluate the potential vulnerability of a project or action prior to implementation or approval can lead to missed opportunities to improve design, optimize siting or otherwise reduce risk. While this tool is most easily used in evaluating a place-based project, it can be used to assess the climate savviness of many types of actions as well as policies.
How can I use the Checklist?
This tool is designed to help you determine if, given climate change, your project will continue to deliver intended benefits.
The Checklist supports your ability to:
Explicitly evaluate the implications of future conditions on project function, longevity and impact
Build climate consideration directly into funding, permitting and planning phases
Reduce liabilities or avoid actions that will be ineffective under future conditions
