The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has released an online training module to help local government officials take actions to increase their communities' resiliency to a changing climate. The virtual training, which lasts about 30 minutes, was developed with advice from EPA's Local Government Advisory Committee. It illustrates how a changing climate may affect a variety of environmental and public health services, describes how different communities are already adapting to climate-related challenges, and links to a number of federal and state resources that can help communities assess their unique climate-related risks and opportunities to become more resilient to climate change. Local officials can access the training online or via the Climate Resilience Toolkit.
