Evaluate the Contribution of Your Land Protection Project to a Low Carbon Future

Many climate adaptation planning tools don't address the unique needs, values and cultures of indigenous communities. This Tribal Climate Adaptation Menu provides a framework to integrate indigenous and traditional knowledge, culture, language and history into the climate adaptation planning process

This document was created by the Northern Institute of Applied Climate Science in collaboration with the Land Trust Alliance. This Quick Guide was developed specifically to support land trusts and serve as a steppingstone for the process of adaptation planning.

A Land Trust Alliance pilot program opens the door to carbon financing for two land trusts in Maine.

The Adaptation Workbook is a structured process to consider the potential effects of climate change and design land management and conservation actions that can help prepare for changing conditions.

The new guide provides criteria for the selection, completion, and management of land protection projects, for the successful capture and storage of carbon.

These voluntary Guidelines provide a structured, scientific process for addressing wildlife conservation concerns at all stages of land-based wind energy development. They also promote effective communication among wind energy developers and federal, state, and local conservation agencies and tribes

As climate change impacts intensify around the world, nature-based carbon sequestration and storage are essential tools to addressing the climate crisis. The question remains where to focus conservation in order to maximize climate benefits. The Conservation Carbon Map can help answer that and more.

This document reviews the basics of climate change, including impacts of climate change and the future impacts of climate change.

Review of Literature on Climate Change and Forest Diseases of Western North America offers a detailed summary of the relationships between climate and various types of tree diseases and the potential effects of climate change on pathogens in western North American forests.

This is a sample of two online tools for identifying priority areas for conservation action and estimating benefit metrics for specific properties developed by the Conservation Trust for North Carolina and the Nicholas Institute for Energy, Environment & Sustainability at Duke University.
