COMMUNITY RESOURCES

We're developing resources every year to make progress on implementing CRM strategies.
​

COMMUNITY RESOURCES

We've developed programs and plans from strategies in Climate Ready Missoula that are aimed at providing resources and information to help community members adapt to the effects of climate change. Alongside our implementing partners, we've prioritized actions since the plan's adoption in 2020 and developed the programs below which provide resources and education to community members and partners alike. These programs represent some of our progress to date and we will continue to implement the many strategies in this plan for years to come.​

CLIMATE RESILIENCE *
IN MISSOULA COUNTY

We build resilience by addressing both the causes and effects of climate change.
​
​Addressing the causes enables us to lessen the effects in the future but we are already experiencing those effects today, - longer wildfire and wildfire smoke seasons, extreme summer heat, prolonged drought, spring flooding, and greater variability overall -  so Climate Ready Missoula was developed primarily as an adaptation plan.  That means we are actively working with partners throughout the County to address the human, ecological, and economic effects of climate change. Climate Ready Missoula enables us to take a comprehensive approach to resilience by building on our mitigation work to address the causes of climate change by reducing carbon pollution. 
*Climate Resilience = the ability of a system - whether it's a community, an ecosystem, or an economy - to anticipate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from the impacts of climate change.
