Midwest[US Climate Reslience Toolkit]
Rising temperatures, drought, extreme precipitation, and other climate changes are affecting agriculture, infrastructure, livelihoods that rely on natural resources, human health, cultural practices (like ice fishing or harvesting local plant species), and ecosystems in the Midwest. Renewable energy production in the region has grown by more than 275% over the last decade, reducing carbon emissions from the energy sector. Communities, local and state governments, and businesses are embracing adaptation approaches that include green infrastructure, climate-smart agriculture, collaborative decision-making, and improved landscape management.
