The State of Adaptation in the United States: An Overview is a synthesis report funded by the MacArthur Foundation and undertaken by EcoAdapt, the Climate Impacts Group at the University of Washington, the Georgetown Climate Center at Georgetown University, and the University of California-Davis and provides examples of societal responses to climate change in our planning and management of cities, agriculture and natural resources. These examples include regulatory measures, management strategies and information sharing.

Local non-profit, Buffalo Niagara Riverkeeper, has been working with Freshwater Future and EcoAdapt to help position the Region to address and adapt to potential climate change impacts.
