Zoning is one tool communities can use to enhance local resilience to climate change impacts like flooding, sea level rise, and increased heat. Regulations can be targeted to protect natural buffering features and green infrastructure, incentivize development density in specific areas, and specify resilient design to reduce impacts of storms, sea level rise, and increasing heat.
