Climate Programs

There are a growing number of tribal programs, government and non-government agencies and programs addressing climate change across the United States. This page includes tribal, federal and NGO climate change programs.

America Adapts	A changing climate presents humanity with only one option: adapt. On the America Adapts podcast, we explore the challenges presented by adapting to climate change, the national movement that has begun to drive change, and the approaches that the field's best minds believe are already working. Join climate change adaptation expert Doug Parsons as he talks with scientists, activists, policymakers and journalists about the choices we face and the people who make them. The climate adaptation conversation, and the movement, starts here. Categories: climate change, outreach, education, conversation, news, updates, adaptation, science, policy	National	Link
Climate Wise	Climate Wise aims to help local leaders in developing Whole Community adaptation strategies to address the impacts of climate change. They offer a number of consulting services including local projections, vulnerability assessments, resilience planning, and GIS consulting. Categories: climate change, consultation, planning, development, adaptation, GIS mapping	National	Link
The Climate Data Factory	We provide ready-to-use, bias-adjusted and quality checked IPCC climate projections data for impact modelling, and ready-made graphics across 4,300 cities worldwide. Categories: climate data, climate projections, impact modeling, graphics	National	Link
Washington Smoke Information	This site is an effort by county, state, and Federal agencies and Indian Tribes to coordinate and aggregate information for Washington communities affected by smoke from wildland fires. The information is posted here by the agencies themselves while volunteers built and maintain the page. Categories: wildfire, air quality, human health, policy, planning, information, outreach, education, data, curriculum, collaboration, climate change, risk, hazard,	Washington state, North America	Link
USFWS Climate Change Planning Toolkit	A key part of the Service's climate change strategy is to inform FWS staff about the impacts of accelerating climate change and to engage partners and others in seeking collaborative solutions. Through shared knowledge and communication, we can work together to reduce the impacts of climate change on fish, wildlife, plants and their habitats. The USFWS has compiled a list of resources to inform climate planning and conservation efforts. Categories: Climate Planning, Climate Data	National	Link
Fire Science Exchange Network	The goal of the Fire Science Exchange Network is to accelerate the awareness, understanding, adoption, and implementation of readily available wildland fire science information. Categories: wildfire, wildland, fire science, education, outreach, information, data, prevention	National, Untied States	Link
Indigenous Climate Action (ICA)	Indigenous Climate Action’s (ICA) goal is to foster Indigenous communities that are inspired and empowered to take direct climate action. Our biggest natural resources are the unique Indigenous knowledge our people hold to build solid solutions for climate change. ICA supports regional capacity building to build critical relationships with decision makers and resources to ensure projects are continually growing. Through this collaborative approach, regional Indigenous communities will have access to resources that will support their work while simultaneously regenerating our biggest natural resources, the people and knowledge.

Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program Resource Library	A wealth of publications, webinars, outreach materials, success stories, and other resources associated with the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program have been published in recent years. In addition to resources specific to the CFLRP, the Forest Service has also identified resources that may be of interest to the broader community of collaborative restoration practitioners. These resources have been compiled so that the stories, successes, and lessons learned regarding large-scale collaborative forest restoration can be shared. Categories: forest, restoration, inter agency collaboration, management, planning, education, information	United States, National	Link
Calling Bullshit: Data Reasoning for the Digital Age	The world is awash in bullshit. Politicians are unconstrained by facts. Science is conducted by press release. Higher education rewards bullshit over analytic thought. Startup culture elevates bullshit to high art. Advertisers wink conspiratorially and invite us to join them in seeing through all the bullshit — and take advantage of our lowered guard to bombard us with bullshit of the second order. The majority of administrative activity, whether in private business or the public sphere, seems to be little more than a sophisticated exercise in the combinatorial reassembly of bullshit. Our aim in this course is to teach you how to think critically about the data and models that constitute evidence in the social and natural sciences.
