Ready to Build a More Resilient Future?
Strategy, Planning, and Implementation Support for Climate-Ready Organizations and Communities
We work with governments, organizations, and frontline communities to turn climate risk into resilience—through strategy development, project design, and funding support.
We help communities and institutions prepare for what’s coming—and thrive despite it. For over two decades, Climate Resilience Consulting has supported climate adaptation strategies that protect lives, strengthen livelihoods, and reduce long-term costs.
Climate-related losses have surged from $12 billion annually in 1980 to nearly $120 billion today. The human toll is rising fastest in communities with the least capacity to adapt.
We’re climate resilience pioneers. Our team equips governments, frontline organizations, and mission-driven partners with the tools to understand climate risks, develop actionable strategies, and implement high-impact projects—from resilience hubs to green infrastructure and workforce solutions.
Resilience Hub Planning and Design
CRC has worked with over 20 community-based organizations nationwide to co-design resilience hubs—trusted, multifunctional spaces that support residents before, during, and after climate emergencies.
Our Resilience Hub Planning and Design Compendium (2025) distills insights from these projects, offering practical guidance on hub functions, funding pathways, and equitable community engagement.
It includes:
Case studies from 7 cities
Design and budgeting guidance
Implementation checklists for local governments and nonprofits
Featured Projects
Guidance for Philanthropy
In 2024, CRC collaborated with the Packard Foundation and Dr. Susanne Moser to update Rising to the Challenge, Together—a landmark framework guiding philanthropic investment in climate resilience.
This new report, The Tasks of Now: Toward a New Era in Climate Resilience Building draws on expert interviews and frontline insights to outline:
Key strategies for long-term resilience funding
Priority areas for impact at scale
Transformative actions and principles for philanthropy
Bolstering Resilience in Land Use Planning
CRC partnered with the U.S. Climate Alliance and Smart Growth America to produce Climate and Land Use Planning: A Policy Guide for U.S. States and Territories. It highlights innovative approaches from states across the country—giving planners and policymakers tools to scale climate-smart land management.
This guide shows how land use policies can:
Reduce GHG emissions and climate risk
Improve ecosystem resilience
Advance equitable land stewardship
