  3. ART Objectives • Create an integrative (cross-sector/cross-jurisdiction) adaptation planning framework that can be applied in other areas of the Bay region • Develop, test, and refine adaptation tools and processes to help the region address climate change • Identify how adaptation planning can be scaled to different geographic extents – local, regional, state, federal

  4. ART Project Area • A portion of Alameda county including six cities, one unincorporated community, and numerous special districts • Key regional infrastructure, natural resources and shoreline communities • Many project partners and stakeholders

  5.
