If you know a researcher, planner, or resilience builder who should take this — tag them or pass it along.

Working in climate adaptation? We want to know how you're doing — not just professionally, but really doing. The National Survey of Climate Adaptation Professionals is open. 10 min. Confidential. Responses shape support for the field. Take the survey: ucdavis.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_06…

Climate adaptation professionals carry a unique weight — helping communities prepare for a shifting future, often with limited resources and high stakes. This survey exists because that work matters. And so do the people doing it.
