Planning for Climate Change
Publication: World Environmental and Water Resources Congress 2009: Great Rivers
Abstract
Climate change is upon us. Models used to predict climate change lack the granularity to allow communities to be accurately predicting the impacts of climate change. Federal Funding of Climate change research can barely keep pace with inflation much less provide the research required for local communities to develop climate change plans. Local governments need to develop a strategy to resource the modeling of climate change for their community. Regions could band together to source the modeling or solicit help from their congressional representatives. Next, leaders need to develop an action plan that addresses possible impacts to the community's industrial base or other natural resources.
