The Atlas of Inspiration is a growing collection of climate infrastructure projects, planning strategies, and funding approaches that are already making an impact. From green infrastructure to affordable housing and resilient transportation, these projects show how communities across the country are addressing multiple hazards while improving daily life. Many of these ideas highlight how climate adaptation can inspire action, advance equity, and drive long-term systems to change.

This database is designed to celebrate good ideas, and show communities, advocates, and decision-makers what’s possible. Whether you are building your case for state and federal funding or seeking inspiration for local action, the Atlas includes real-world examples that can be adapted, scaled, and funded. Explore innovative efforts from California to New Jersey and beyond to find solutions that fit your own context.
