The SSCC has generated a list of initiative ideas (see below) to provide critical knowledge, understanding, and tools regarding agents of change and potential response actions. Several of these ideas have been crafted into formal funding proposals. The "alternative fire management futures" initiatives is in progress.

- Comparison & Integration of Climate Adaptation Projects
Strategic Framework Goal 3: Tools and Actions
- Both projects under goal 2 also address goal 3
- Kaweah Watershed Coordinated Restoration Initiative
- Enabling forest restoration goals via ecologically managed biomass generation, a cost-benefit analysis
Strategic Framework Goal 4: Communication
- Information Clearinghouse for Shared Learning
- Education & Outreach Initiative
Integrative Across Goals
- Reevaluate invasive plant programs and practices under alternative climate futures
