Overcoming the Uncertainty Barrier to Adaptation
Part 2 of a three-part webinar series about climate change adaptation for state and local governments addresses the challenge of planning for climate change in the face of uncertainty. Using presentations and an interactive panel, experts discussed how to look at historical information to understand future vulnerability and how to use downscaling tools that are appropriate for local governments of various sizes and capacities.
