The StR processes, actions and outcomes should all be shared within and beyond the community to broaden understanding of what has taken place, if it is working, and to support neighboring jurisdictions that may be at an earlier phase of the adaptation process. Consider communication with peers in other communities through professional societies, regional government working groups, and online tools used for adaptation.
Bundling projects within an existing (non-climate) program can provide a fast path to implementation. Consider what the program will be and who are the best partners for the program. The type of program may drive where to look for funding and finance opportunities. Partners could include different government departments, academic institutions, or special interest organizations.
Measuring progress starts on day one of the project. Careful monitoring and evaluation throughout the project’s lifespan and beyond can set up your team for measuring success and also can help build public trust and support.
Watch for opportunities to improve or recover from missteps. If your actions aren’t producing the desired outcome, consider modifying your approach or making course corrections to your plan.
