Key stakeholders and local government elected officials and staff in the region have been discussing potential strategies to address the impacts of climate change on Water, Health, Infrastructure, Agriculture, Coastal Marine and Tourism.
Now it’s your chance to get involved! The workshop will include a discussion of Climate Change projections for the San Luis Obispo region and the impacts they will likely have on your natural and socioeconomic systems. They will also share recommendations that local stakeholders have developed to help the county prepare for these impacts and discuss implementation strategies and potential obstacles that San Luis Obispo elected officials have identified.
The Local Government Commission in partnership with the National Center for Conservation Science & Policy and Susanne Moser Research and Consulting is organizing this effort through a one-year grant from the Kresge Foundation. The goal is to support local government officials, staff and stakeholders in developing adaptation strategies that cohesively consider economics, health, culture, social needs, transportation, infrastructure, ecosystem services, and natural resources.
