For those who have completed a sea level rise vulnerability assessment, the next step of adaptation planning can seem overwhelming.

From involving multiple different stakeholders and communities, to navigating the complex landscape of decision-making, addressing historic inequities and injustice, re-building community trust, and making decisions today in the face of uncertainty for both future climate impacts and our societal choices, taking on sea level rise adaptation is complicated.
