Maine Climate Impact Dashboard
An interactive collection of data about Maine’s past, present, and potential future climate.
The interactive displays of the Maine Cimate Impact Dashboard show how Maine’s health, economy, and communities may be affected by a changing climate. Mainers can use these tools and data to better understand these impacts and to advance climate mitigation and resilience efforts in Maine communities.
About the Dashboard
Background
The Dashboard consists of nine story maps with a variety of interactive data displays and maps to illustrate impacts of climate change in Maine. It was created through a partnership between the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Governor’s Office of Policy Innovation and the Future, with funding from the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention's Climate-Ready States and Cities Program.
