Community-based planning and action is essential to help Maryland’s coastal communities prepare for and adapt to climate change. However, every community is different, both in terms of the actions needed to adapt to climate change and their capacity to plan and implement those actions. IAN is collaborating with community organizations in two communities — the Pine Street community in Cambridge, MD and the Eastport community in Annapolis, MD — to develop Coastal Adaption Report Cards for their communities. The report cards will help these communities prepare for climate change by identifying and prioritizing adaption needs and actions based on the threats they are already facing.
