As the effects of climate change increase, and as the federal government deprioritizes climate action, local governments must grapple with the complex challenge of enhancing resilience. Despite the importance of local-scale planning and finance for equitable climate resilience, the knowledge needed to support such efforts is poorly defined. We outline four challenge areas and corresponding priority considerations: capacity and governance, adaptation and recovery, funding mechanisms, and data and methodological needs. By strengthening knowledge and partnerships in each of these areas, scholars, policymakers, and practitioners can better support communities to respond to and recover from the effects of a changing climate.
