About Our Resilient Communities Work
Community resilience in changing climate relies on investments in infrastructure, policy, data, and civic institutions. CLEE develops and supports a range of tools—innovative land use models, community engagement and communications, equity-oriented investment structures—to help promote resilience in the broader context of climate and environmental policy.
Our community resilience work not only includes a dedicated set of projects; it reaches across everything we do, from water to wildfire. As more communities experience the impacts of environmental change, building resilience across infrastructure and systems will only become more central to CLEE’s work.
