Created by the Resilient Infrastructure Subgroup on Climate, EPA’s new Climate Resilience and Adaptation Toolbox can help funding applicants and recipients looking to invest in climate-resilient projects. Resources include: 

  • Program overviews of EPA’s financial assistance programs where climate-safe investment opportunities are available.
  • Climate risk tools and decision support resources that can inform the development, design, and implementation of projects. 
  • Communications materials to facilitate discussions about adaptation, resilience, and environmental justice. 
  • Meaningful engagement resources on how to perform targeted community engagement efforts effectively and intentionally when implementing climate-smart projects.  
  • Definitions of common terms to use during technical assistance consultations, engagement efforts, and the development of project proposals.
