From Science to Nature-Based Solutions in the Chicago Region
University of Illinois — Professor Don Wuebbles
This project uses newly-developed, high-resolution, climate models to identify and assess nature-based solutions around climate extremes.
Chicago-Calumet River Watershed Council
Friends of the Chicago River
The recently formed Chicago-Calumet River Watershed Council will work with the Trust for Public Land to develop an adaptation of TPL’s Climate Smart Cities decision-support tool that will enable stakeholders to prioritize multi-benefit, nature-based projects more effectively in the region’s main watersheds. The Watershed Council will also begin a multi-benefit ecosystem restoration project at Indian Ridge Marsh South that will enable real-time testing and ground-truthing of the tool.
