• Adapt successfully to a changing climate.– Strengthen capacity of natural systems to
respond to more severe weather events, streamflow changes and flooding.
– When planning investments, consider physical, social, environmental, economic and regulatory impacts of mitigating and adapting to climate change.
![Page 41: The Intertwine & The Intertwine Alliance Addressing Climate Change: A Regional Response Mike Houck, Director Urban Greenspaces Institute](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e125503460f94afe34a/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Climate change already is affecting the region’s air and water resources, the quantity and distribution of habitats, and the ranges and behavior of native fish and wildlife species.
![Page 42: The Intertwine & The Intertwine Alliance Addressing Climate Change: A Regional Response Mike Houck, Director Urban Greenspaces Institute](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e125503460f94afe34a/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Given the many unknowns and the interconnectedness of natural, built, and human systems, it would be wise to adopt a flexible, proactive approach to climate change that is consistent with the precautionary principle—i.e., to act now and manage assuming severe impacts.
![Page 43: The Intertwine & The Intertwine Alliance Addressing Climate Change: A Regional Response Mike Houck, Director Urban Greenspaces Institute](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e125503460f94afe34a/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Fortunately, across the region there are on-the-ground examples of how climate change adaptation strategies can be combined with other regional and project-level goals.
![Page 44: The Intertwine & The Intertwine Alliance Addressing Climate Change: A Regional Response Mike Houck, Director Urban Greenspaces Institute](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e125503460f94afe34a/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Protecting existing high-functioning areas, maintaining connectivity across the landscape, restoring and integratingnatural areas and features into the built system provides multiple benefits, including mitigation for and adaptation to climate change.
