Guide to Equitable, Community-Driven Climate Preparedness Planning

“Delivering more equitable outcomes requires a different approach to planning. Many climate
preparedness and adaptation guides exist and most acknowledge the importance of equity and public
participation; however, few address equity issues by addressing specific adaptation solutions, tactics
for inclusive community engagement, or the root causes of inequities in climate risk. This document
addresses these gaps. The purpose of the Guide to Equitable, Community-Driven Climate Preparedness
Planning is to provide guidance to local governments in designing and implementing a more inclusive,
equitable planning process.”
