Regional Vulnerability Assessments Outside of California
The assessments presented below are regional in scope and focus on the vulnerability of habitats, ecosystems, and species to the impacts of climate change. Many of these regional projects are supported by Landscape Conservation Cooperatives as part of their mission to support adaptive, science-based conservation efforts in the face of challenges associated with climate change.
