Title: Climate Adapt: European Climate Adaptation Platform, Climate Adapt: Adapting urban water systems to climate change

URL: http://climate-adapt.eea.europa.eu/viewaceitem?aceitem_id=2627

Description: "Adapting urban water systems to climate change Description: ICLEI, UNESCO-IHE and IWA have authored, as part of the ‘SWITCH – Managing Water for the City of the Future’ project, a handbook on adapting urban water systems to climate change. The handbook aims to fill a gap in the adaptation field: while a lot of information is available about various adaptation topics, there is a lack of guidance for decision makers at the local level working on urban water who wish to proactively prepare for and adapt to climate change." -- from the website, 6/17/2016 This page gives the abstract for the paper, "Adapting urban water systems to climate change," and a link to a .pdf of the document.

Title: Climate Change: Effects on Our Energy

URL: http://energy.gov/articles/climate-change-effects-our-energy/

Description: "Today’s report U.S. Energy Sector Vulnerabilities to Climate Change and Extreme Weather examines current and potential future impacts of these climate trends on the U.S. energy sector. Researchers have identified several critical issues, including power-plant disruptions due to drought and the disruption of fuel supplies during severe storms. They’ve also pinpointed potential opportunities that would make our energy infrastructure more resilient to these risks." -- from the website, 1/23/2017

Description: "By 2006, many scientists had recognized the need to prepare for the impact climate change will likely have on health, both in the U.S. and worldwide. The CDC Climate and Public Health Framework was created in the same year to address this issue. In 2009, CDC formally established the Climate and Health Program. Our mission is to: 1.) Lead efforts to identify populations vulnerable to climate change; 2) Prevent and adapt to current and anticipated health impacts; 3) Ensure that systems are in place to detect and respond to current and emerging health threats." -- from the website, 1/24/2017
