Northland Climate Resilience Collaborative

Welcome to the Northland Climate Resilience Collaborative

Our vision is to foster a regional response to climate challenges by uniting neighboring counties, Tribal Nations, and local governments in a collaborative effort. By continually listening to, learning from, and working with one another on cooperative projects, we will establish a regional understanding of our shared priorities and unique contributions to climate resilience at local and regional scales. We choose to see climate threats as an opportunity to come together, and we are committed to shaping a collaborative plan that will advance other important priorities in our communities and the region.
