📈 How do you measure climate resilience? The University of Minnesota Climate Adaptation Partnership (MCAP) and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency are tackling that question for the State of Minnesota. MCAP’s recommended resilience metrics include important measures such as: 📝 The number of current county hazard mitigation plans that include future climate 💵 The amount of state funds allocated to resilience financing 🌳 The area of tree canopy statewide 🚰 Concentrations of heavy toxins in drinking water “With metrics, we can demonstrate the ‘what’ and the ‘how’ of building resilience in Minnesota communities,” said MPCA Climate Change Adaptation Coordinator Sharon Stephens. “We can see how far we’ve come in being more resilient from the impacts of extreme weather and how much more we need to do.” ℹ Learn more about MCAP's work on climate resilience metrics at https://lnkd.in/dhTdkWtX #ClimateResilence #ClimateChange #Metrics #UMNProud〽️
