CRWAD 2025 (short for “Coastal Resiliency with Adaptation and Design 2025”) is an initiative that aims to protect the U.S. coastline from the impacts of climate change. This multi-agency, collaborative effort focuses on developing and implementing innovative, cost-effective, and sustainable solutions that increase the resilience of coastal communities to sea-level rise, storm surges, and other extreme weather events.
CRWAD 2025 is a critical component of the U.S. government’s overall strategy to address climate change. By working together, federal, state, and local agencies, along with the private sector and non-profit organizations, CRWAD 2025 is helping to ensure that the nation’s coastal communities are prepared for the challenges of the 21st century.
