Conservation planning efforts that are naïve to climate change have the potential to be inefficient at best and, at worst, ineffective. Although many approaches have been suggested for integrating climate adaption within the conservation planning process, climate-adaptation conservation planning is still in the early stages of development. To remedy this knowledge gap, we are:

1. conducting a comprehensive comparison and synthesis of the many available approaches that have previously been developed, 
2. applying those approaches to the majority of North America, and 
3. developing a spatial database from the results of these analyses.
