Climate history is as long and nuanced as that of civilization, and humans need climate resilience strategies to survive. We've focused our climate resilience efforts on disaster during the past few decades, and in Connecticut, our Sea Grant Extension program also has additional focus and resources for coastal communities.

Adapt CT
Adapt CT is an outreach partnership between Connecticut Sea Grant and The Center for Land Use Education & Research (CLEAR) working to provide information, tools, trainings & workshop opportunities to assist municipalities, businesses & residents of Connecticut in their efforts to prepare for & adapt to the impacts of a changing climate. Drawing on expertise from faculty within multiple departments at UConn and other universities, municipal officials, consultants, and lawyers, we strive to share the most recent information and research that communities need to make decisions on how to best adapt to the climate change impacts facing Connecticut.
