Our approach is collaborative and inclusive. We work together with communities across the Carolinas to help predict and understand their exposure and vulnerability to climate threats, such as fire, flood, and heat.
By integrating social science, physical science, and regional knowledge, the C3HE team and participating groups co-produce solutions that are tailored to meet unique local needs and priorities.
Featured Project: BIL Funded Cross-CAP/RISA Collaboration
Team members at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North Carolina State University, and the Museum Life & Science have received funding through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) to work with our sister CAP/RISA team, Pacific RISA. This project will enable equitable adaptation to changing coastal flood risks through community- engaged flood modeling in North Carolina and Hawaiʻi. We are engaging with local partners in the coastal communities of Down East, NC and Carolina Beach, NC to address the lack of local flood risk data and capacity constraints.
