GCC Launching Equitable Adaptation Toolkit

The Georgetown Climate Center’s Equitable Adaptation Legal & Policy Toolkit will help local policymakers and community-based organizations address these challenges and develop viable strategies for building climate resilience and social equity. The toolkit includes best emerging practices, legal and policy tools, and case studies centered on equitable adaptation solutions to help users to explore solutions linking equity and resilience. While there is no “one size fits all” approach to building equitable community resilience, GCC’s toolkit will provide analytical frameworks to help decisionmakers and advocates tailor approaches to their specific jurisdictions, legal contexts, and needs.

The toolkit will cover a broad range of subjects to help guide community-driven planning processes and implementation, including:

  • Facilitating procedural and substantive equity, including community-driven engagement and government procedural processes;

  • Economic resilience, affordable housing, and anti-displacement;

  • Resilient energy, water, and natural systems;

  • Disaster preparedness, response, and recovery;

  • Public health; and

  • Funding and financing approaches.
