Focus Areas Climate resilience Climate change is no longer a distant threat—it’s here, and it’s reshaping the places we live. Rising temperatures, flooding, wildfires, and extreme weather are putting lives, homes, and infrastructure at risk, with low-income communities facing the most severe consequences. We help communities adapt to these realities while rethinking how we plan, build, and grow to avoid greater harm. Why smart growth is the right strategy to advance climate resilience How we lead We integrate climate goals into transportation, housing, and land use decisions.
