Application
This unique opportunity
provides hands-on training to participants in how to consider climate change
information and identify adaptation actions for conservation planning and
activities. It will also furnish participants with feedback and coaching on
their own real-world climate adaptation project. At the end of the training,
participants will be able to:
- Identify climate change impacts that pose the greatest
challenges and opportunities for achieving current conservation goals with
existing actions
- Describe whether and how conservation goals and actions may need
to be adjusted in light of climate change
- Design a “climate-informed” on-the-ground conservation project
that aims to address the effects of climate change on a focal ecosystem
- Tell a clear and compelling story of how their conservation
project is designed to achieve climate adaptation outcomes
-
Prepare a stronger application for future project funding to
sources like the WCS
Climate Adaptation Fund
There is no registration fee for the session, thanks to a
generous grant to WCS from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and additional
support from the U.S. Forest Service.
