Planning for Climate Change

In this practical and relevant training designed for planners, you will hear from experts about climate impacts to Pacific Northwest shorelines and leave with specific action steps to prepare for climate change in your work. The training will cover the fundamentals of  how to plan for climate change, how to conduct a vulnerability assessment, how current state regulations address climate change, and  how other governments are taking on the challenge of preparing for climate change. You will also become familiar with key data sources and learn specific strategies for engaging stakeholders in climate change preparedness.  Finally, the training will include several exercises designed to help you consider possible climate vulnerabilities and adaptation strategies in your community. To assist your planning efforts after the workshop, you will receive a copy of the authoritative guidebook Preparing for Climate Change:  A Guidebook for Local, Regional, and State Governments.
