Goal
The goal of the Receiver Places is to create a guide of policy and practice for communities to follow, detailing strategies for equitable, climate-resilient urban growth in response to incoming climate change migration. We will use the Receiver Places Guide work with communities in climate-resilient geographies to promote and implement climate-resilient urbanism.

The Climate Receiver Places Guide
The Receiver Places Guide consists of four resources. We’ve published a summary document, two in-depth documents, and an assessment tool. These are all available together or separately below, along with additional data.
- Project Summary Document – A brief introduction and overview of the Climate Receiver Places Project.
- Receiving Geography Guide – A document to define receiving geography, specific cities, towns, and regions around these municipalities, and the methodology that got us to these conclusions. We also provide supplementary maps and data.
- Community Principles Guide – A document to define equitable, climate-resilient community principles and how climate receiver places can use them to change mindsets, self-assess, plan, and implement.
- Community Assessment Guide – A checklist and rating system to qualitatively assess current conditions of a community, direct that community towards certain priorities, and conduct a postassessment.

What’s Next?
We are beginning to explore collaborating with climate receiver places to strengthen the resilient and welcoming communities of the future.
