Climate Resilience & Conservation: Resources from The Nature Conservancy
As climate change accelerates, land conservation is a powerful tool for building resilience—protecting ecosystems, reducing climate risks, and supporting communities. This curated set of resources from The Nature Conservancy, a leader in resilience and conservation science, offers practical guidance on climate adaptation, nature-based solutions, and strategies for integrating resilience into land protection.
