We are pleased to announce Taking Cues from Nature to Adapt to Climate Change: A Communications Resource for Nature-based Solutions. This resource was created through collaboration of the Mass ECAN-affiliated Mainstreaming Nature-Based Solutions Work Group and Climate Communications Work Group, with support from the US Dept. of Agriculture and UMass Extension. This resource was written for practitioners to provide more climate adaptation and ecosystems context for nature-based solutions and highlight their many co-benefits for people and nature. Recently, there has been increased interest in nature-based solutions associated with their prioritization in the Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness Program.
Check out this resource to learn more about nature-based solutions and examples of projects in our state!
