Tool
AdaptWest Climate Adaptation Planning Database
Description
This spatial database can help land management agencies and other organizations implement strategies that promote resilience, protect biodiversity, and enhance the adaptation potential of natural systems in the face of a changing climate. The database combines broad geographic coverage (most of North America) with relatively high spatial resolution (100 m to 1 km).
Data include
- downscaled projections of future climate, velocity of climate change,
- distribution of physical habitat types (land facets),
- projected climate refugia, and
- areas that are important from multiple perspectives.
AdaptWest is intended to serve the needs of state, provincial, and federal agencies as well as non-governmental organizations (such as land trusts) involved in land use planning to promote climate resilience at regional and national extents.
