Recently, the climate adaptation field has placed significant focus on the impacts of climate change on the built environment; however, we know that natural resources and systems are also being significantly, and in some cases irreversibly, affected. When developing climate adaptation and action plans, we may count on natural systems to behave or provide ecosystem services as they have historically, but this is not necessarily the case. It is important to understand how climate change is changing natural resources so that we can anticipate and account for these changes into projects being planned today and help natural systems adapt.
This EBC Climate Change Webinar will include researchers and practitioners studying these impacts in New England and incorporating them into their work. Speakers will address a range of natural resources from wetlands, forests, soils, biodiversity, and more.
A robust panel discussion with the audience will conclude the program.
General Continuing Education Certificates are awarded by the EBC for this program (2.5 training contact hours). Certificates are automatically provided via email link for registered attendees at the conclusion of the webinar.
