Adapting to #climatechange is key, but how do we assess how well various adaptation measures are working? MCAP worked with the @MnPCA to develop metrics and indicators the state can use to monitor its progress on various climate adaptation measures.

Curious about what #climate grants can do for your community?

Our partners over at @MnPCA are hosting a webinar on October 9 at 1 p.m. Central to discuss 6 different grants to fund climate planning and implementation projects across the state https://t.co/sf7g5ZjGey

[UMN Climate Adaptation Partnership @UMNclimate]

As floods and droughts become more common and more severe across Minnesota as our climate warms, access to quality data and information on what people can do to adapt to the changes is becoming increasingly important. Read more about it here: https://t.co/YtNE7QzCst

[UMN Climate Adaptation Partnership @UMNclimate]

Catch @UMNclimate's Director Dr. Heidi Roop on MPR’s Climate Cast podcast talking about the latest changes to Minnesota’s climate trends with @MPRweather. They discuss what #climatechange could mean for MN and more. Full clip here https://t.co/n7b5dhKKgm

Thanks to everyone who dropped by our booth at the State Fair this weekend! We had a great time talking about our Community Climate Leaders program and climate action on the local scale!

[UMN Climate Adaptation Partnership @UMNclimate]

Congratulations to @Hennepin and @RamseyCounty on the success of the urban heat mapping study! At the end of July, over 100 volunteers drove around with heat sensors mounted on their cars, recording temperature, humidity, time and location. More info: https://t.co/eioIHuWuzH
