Blue Marble Library Guide: Massachusetts Climate Change Adaptation

"In Massachusetts, we are experiencing the effects of climate change first-hand. If we work together, we can do something about it. Massachusetts has a climate action plan with ways for every person, business, city, and town to make a difference."

Statewide analysis detailing how Massachusetts people, environments, and infrastructure may be affected by climate change and related hazards through the end of the century. This assessment directly informed the first five-year update to the State Hazard Mitigation and Climate Adaptation Plan (SHMCAP), ResilientMass, that was released in Fall 2023.

Provides recommendations for municipalities in their operation of cooling centers and outlines actions municipalities may take to help prevent health impacts caused by hot weather.

"This project partnership aims to increase the resiliency of coastal communities to natural
hazards by encouraging actions that reduce the risk to family and property. Preparing for
coastal hazards by planning, performing home maintenance, and undertaking preventative
retrofits enhances individual resilience and helps create a strong community. "
