Engaged Research for Community Resilience to Climate Change

Engaged Research for Community Resilience to Climate Change is a guide on integrating science into urban, regional and coastal planning activities as part of an effort to build truly sustainable communities that can withstand climate change. This requires a shift in the traditional thinking of academic researchers who must now work across disciplines, focus on the real-world human impacts of climate change, and strategize how the science can be used to advocate for change. This book will appeal to a wide audience, including university administrators looking to create and sustain interdisciplinary research groups, community and state officials, non-profit and community advocates, and more.
