INTRODUCTION
The North Olympic Peninsula Resource Conservation & Development Council (NODC) Climate Action Toolkit was created to support local governments, Tribes, and Nongovernmental Organizations (NGOs) across the North Olympic Peninsula in (1) integrating climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies throughout their decision-making processes, and (2) helping jurisdictions plan for climate action implementation.
Building off NODC’s earlier effort to create a Climate Change Preparedness Plan for the North Olympic Peninsula (2015), the toolkit development process brought together local governments, Tribes, and other stakeholders to prepare for climate change. Through a series of region-wide strategy meetings, stakeholders identified regional climate impacts, priorities, and top climate strategies and actions. The summary report of the meeting series outcomes and key takeaways can be found here: www.noprcd.org/climate-action-toolkit/summary-report
Regional priorities and strategies were consolidated into these overarching topic areas:
For each of these three topic areas, the toolkit offers examples of top strategies and actions, decision-making tools and checklists, sample codes and regulations, and local resources for implementation.
