From severe storms and wildfires to rising sea levels and shifting wildlife habitats, the impacts of climate change are already challenging, complicating, and altering conservation efforts on public and private lands. This guide offers links to resources that can help organizations and governments incorporate climate change considerations into their land conservation efforts and use conservation as a tool to both reduce carbon in the atmosphere and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
See the Climate Change and Conservation topic at ConservationTools.org for additional climate change resources.
