Given our elevation and proximity to the sea, local governments in
South Florida are taking climate change pretty seriously. Both
Broward and Dade County maintain the following websites about their
climate change programs:

Planners Energy and Climate Database
This database provides examples of communities that have taken steps
to integrate energy and climate change issues into planning, states
that have addressed climate change issues in plans or policies, and
other relevant documents to help planners understand and address
energy and climate change.
You can search this database by region, state, type of planning
tool, topic, time frame, scale, or community size, using the search
options in the left-hand column. Results are sorted according to
relevance. If you have too many or too few results returned, try
narrowing or broadening your search parameters. Resources are
regularly being added to this database, so check back periodically
to find new resources.
To suggest a case study or document for the database, or for
questions about the database, e-mail [email protected].

I am interested in locating state/provincial or municipal
comprehensive
plans recommending adaptive strategies for community-wide
adjustments to
climate change. If you know of a community that developed such a
plan, I
would appreciate any info you can offer.
Thanks,
