Synthesize the best available scientific information to assess climate change vulnerability and develop adaptation strategies
to understand and mitigate potentially adverse effects of climate change on natural resources and ecosystem services
Develop information and tools for resource managers to incorporate best available climate change science
into programs, restoration activities, land management plans, monitoring programs, and NEPA projects.
Establish effective long-term science-management partnership
involving agencies and stakeholders to assess climate change science and its implications for biophysical and social resources.
Conduct vulnerability assessment of priority resources and develop associated adaptation options
to help build resistance, enhance resilience, and facilitate ecological transitions for the CMWAP assessment region. Potential assessment topics include:
Peer review and publish the assessment and adaptation options
providing the scientific foundation for mainstreaming climate change in planning, ecological restoration, and project management.
Engage and Educate
with partners, stakeholders, decision makers, planners, and resource specialists to:
Conduct a workshop
with scientists, land managers, conservation practitioners, and other stakeholders to review the vulnerability assessment.
