Adapt Alaska is a website that creates a space for discussion among communities, tribes, agencies and nonprofits to enable communities to successfully adapt to rapidly changing landscape, ocean and climate conditions across Alaska. It provides a synthesis of the greatest Alaska-specific challenges related to climate change, and has links to data and tools useful for monitoring, mitigation and adaptation planning. Where we are going
Adapt Alaska is part of Alaska Sea Grant’s coastal community resilience program, and continues to expand with new partnerships.
The website has a resilience planning guide for communities paired with a database of resources and case studies. The website is designed to lead the resilience process, from starting a conversation with your community to creating an adaptation plan. New resources are continuing to be added.
