Project Overview Climate risks, including floods and heatwaves, disproportionately impact under-resourced communities in the Upper Mississippi River Basin, but gaps in data, policy, and collaboration in the region can hinder effective climate adaptation. Researchers supported by this Midwest CASC project will work with communities to identify flood-vulnerable areas, evaluate various nature-based solutions, and develop a climate action plan, providing tools and data to guide community resilience through equitable resource management, funding, and policy. Project Summary In the Midwest, climate risks such as floods, droughts, and heatwaves are expected to worsen, disproportionately affecting at-risk and under-resourced...
