Climate adaptation can feel like something other communities are doing. Ones with more staff, bigger budgets or different pressures.
But the reality is that adaptation is for communities of all sizes and at every stage. It’s about protecting services, infrastructure and quality of life, and doing it in a way that fits your capacity, your budget and your local priorities.
These short reads are built for that kind of work. They offer practical insights and useful framing to help you take the next step. Whether you're planning a project, applying for funding, or trying to get your council or team aligned, each one reflects the challenges municipalities are facing now and the tools available to help them move forward.
