Carolinas Climate Adaptation Partnership (CAP)
Climate change is here and now in the Carolinas.
We are seeing more extreme rainfall and higher temperatures. Severe weather events are causing unprecedented damage.
We work together with communities across the Carolinas to help predict and understand their exposure and vulnerability to climate threats, such as drought, heat, and flooding.
By integrating social science, physical science, and regional knowledge, the CAP team and participating groups co-produce solutions that are tailored to meet unique local needs and priorities.
We are working with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, the Albemarle Regional Health Services in Northeastern NC, Down East, and other communities to co-produce climate resilience research and solutions in the most at-risk parts of their communities.

CAP is co-hosted by the North Carolina State Climate Office and the North Carolina Institute for Climate Studies at NC State University.

Grant to fund climate resilience solutions for Carolinas
North Carolina State University will lead a multi-institutional effort to develop climate resilience solutions in frontline communities in the Carolinas, thanks to a five-year, $5 million grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Frontline communities refer to communities who experience the first and worst impacts of the climate crisis.
