Climate Action Tool

The Climate Action Tool (CAT) is designed to inform and inspire local action to protect the natural resources of the northeastern U.S. from a changing climate. It was developed for local decision-makers, conservation practitioners, large landowners, and community leaders, originally in Massachusetts but, due to broad interest, expanded a decade later across the region.
