How can communities adapt to a changing climate?

Climate Resilience! is a freely available community research guide developed by the Smithsonian Science Education Center (SSEC) in partnership with the InterAcademy Partnership as part of the Smithsonian Science for Global Goals project. Smithsonian Science for Global Goals community research guides use the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a framework to focus on sustainable actions that are defined and implemented by students.

The Smithsonian Science for Global Goals Climate Resilience! guide will help youth explore how communities can respond and adapt to become more resilient when facing climate change. This free educational resource, aimed at 11-18 year olds, highlights localized and global impacts of climate change while supporting youth to understand how communities can adapt food systems, effectively manage water, improve community structures, and support cultural resilience.
