Residents who are more socially attached to their community are more likely to plan for climate change adaptation to support it, according to a recent study in the Journal of Coastal Conservation.
Researchers from the University of Minnesota and the California Association of Resource Conservation Districts surveyed residents of the north shore of Lake Superior. They wanted to understand how the communities there might be impacted by climate change.

The Natural Resources Conservation Service, or NRCS, announced it is investing $330 million in 85 locally driven, public-private partnerships to address climate change, improve the nation’s water quality, combat drought, enhance soil health, support wildlife habitat and protect agricultural viability, including 4 projects in California.
Projects are awarded through the Regional Conservation Partnership Program, or RCPP.
“The Regional Conservation Partnership Program is public-private partnerships working at their best,” said Carlos Suarez, NRCS State Conservationist in California. “These four new projects will harness the power of partnerships to help bring about solutions to natural resource concerns across California while supporting our efforts to combat the climate crisis.”
