Description

This 2013 climate webinar will provide discussion about organizing for stakeholder engagement; challenges in managing the climate adaptation dialog; and successes in advancing regional adaptation

Abstract

Stakeholder engagement is an essential element of climate adaptation. The Wisconsin Initiative on Climate Change Impacts (WICCI) has organized as a distributed network of stakeholder groups, bringing together regionally scaled climate projections with the resource managers most concerned about the impacts of climate change. Despite the management challenges of this organizational model, WICCI has had notable success in advancing climate change adaptation in Wisconsin and the upper Midwest. This webinar will provide discussion about organizing for stakeholder engagement; challenges in managing the climate adaptation dialog; and successes in advancing regional adaptation. Speakers: Dan Vimont, David S. Liebl of University of Wisconsin
