PA13B:
Linking Climate Resources for Community Resilience II


Session ID#: 9047

Session Description:
This session will build on the goals of activities proposed by the President’s Climate Action Plan, including the Climate Data Initiative (CDI) and Climate Resilience Toolkit (CRT). It will describe crosscutting efforts to transition scientific knowledge to inform actionable decisions at all levels of government, NGO, academic, and private industry. Presentations and posters will present how activities including those promoted by the CDI and CRT are able to transfer and communicate climate data, tools, information and other resources to communities that are preparing to cope with the impacts of climate change. This will include descriptions of specific case studies and systems that are examples to build on as well as more general efforts to organize and bring coherence to the presentation of information and tools to inform resilient planning.
