Being Prepared for Climate Change: Checklists of Potential Climate Change Risks

Description

Checklists help environmental professionals think about how climate change might affect their organization or place. Checklist items include potential risks that could be inferred from climate change stressors.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency offers a booklet of potential risk checklists related to

  • Pollution Control
  • Habitat
  • Fish, Wildlife, and Plants
  • Recreation and Public Water Supplies
  • Human Health
  • Floodplain Management
  • Wetland Habitats

This booklet expands on content originally in the EPA publication, Being Prepared for Climate Change: A Workbook for Developing Risk-Based Adaptation Plans (EPA 842-K-14-002, August 2014).
