At the American Planning Association’s (APA) annual conference in New Orleans on April 23, the APA Sustainable Communities Division presented the Thurston Regional Planning Council a
National Award of Excellence for the Thurston Climate Adaptation Plan. The plan — adopted by TRPC’s council of governments in January 2018 — includes 91 climate “adaptation” actions
to help Thurston County and the broader region prepare for and adjust to rising seas, stronger storms, deeper droughts, and other projected climate impacts. The full plan, as well as
its companion board game and resilience toolkit, are online at www.trpc.org/climate.
