Build Resilience in Your Community

The NC Resilience Exchange helps local and state leaders in North Carolina understand their community’s climate resilience needs, identify appropriate actions and find the resources to implement solutions. Residents are already experiencing climate impacts such as drought, flooding, high daytime and nighttime temperatures, hurricanes, wildfires and sea level rise. Our ecosystems are changing, too. This site organizes North Carolina’s resilience resources for leaders who want to help manage these impacts. With the support of the NC Resilience Exchange, practitioners can improve the resilience of their communities, natural areas and farmlands.

What Does Climate Resilience Mean for Our State?

A resilient North Carolina is a state where our communities, economies and ecosystems are better able to rebound, positively adapt to and thrive amid changing conditions and challenges. Resilient communities can withstand disasters and climate change. North Carolina is building community and ecosystem resilience to conserve resources for present and future generations.
