In the pilot-stage of Climate.Data.gov, you will find resources "to help companies, communities, and citizens understand and prepare for the impacts of coastal flooding and sea level rise." Over time, the "Climate Data community" will expand to include more datasets, web services, and tools. "It will also cover other themes such as the vulnerability of the food supply and the threats to human health from climate change."
The resources page features datasets and services on coastal vulnerability. [http://catalog.data.gov/dataset?groups=climate5434&_groups_limit=0]

''"The earth from here [circling the moon] is a grand oasis in the big vastness of space."'' — Jim Lovell, live Apollo 8 - ''1968''
 
''"If somebody had said before the flight, 'Are you going to get carried away looking at the earth from the moon?' I would have said, 'No, no way.' But yet when I first looked back at the earth, standing on the moon, I cried."'' — Alan Shepard, Astronaut
 
''"As you pass from sunlight into darkness and back again every hour and a half, you become startlingly aware how artificial are thousands of boundaries we've created to separate and define. And for the first time in your life you feel in your gut the precious unity of the Earth and all the living things it supports."'' — Russell Schweikart, Apollo 9

=='''''GP360-About Us'''''==
'''GreenPolicy360''' provides green best practices, news and updates, and an online database which lists local/global policies and successful examples -- legislation/proposals/resolutions/ordinances/concepts -- of green values in practice. Our database is growing. We've experienced millions of page visits. Our [[Introduction Video]] explains how we started.
'''We are an eco-network, a system designed for online sharing, a distributive web of green best practices.'''
GreenPolicy360 was developed for use in all communities, local, national, international. GreenPolicy lets you know how other communities are dealing with many of the key public policy issues of yesterday, today and tomorrow.  If you're working to craft similar green legislation/proposals/resolutions/ordinances/concepts for your local community, or you just want to get an idea of best practices that might be possible, you can use the models and templates here, copy and paste what has worked in other communities and locations and modify to your own needs. "Think and act global ''and'' local!"
BTW, GreenPolicy360 is also an excellent reference source for students and online education.  With a wide array of topics, GreenPolicy360 will save you time and energy as you look to learn about and become engaged in work to improve your community and our world. Whatever country you are in, you can learn from best practices from your region, bioregion or similar regions. Rather than spend hours and hours trying to locate source material, you can find many models and examples of what you're looking for right here, right now.
