2020 Annual Climate Networks Meeting

Out of Harm’s Way Together

November 10, 2020

Over 60 members of the NH Coastal Adaptation Workgroup (CAW) and ME Climate Change Adaptation Providers (CCAP) Network came together virtually for the 8th annual climate networks meeting.

Objectives:

1. Recognize environmental, social, economic tradeoffs and influences inherent in governance structures and systems when making land use and adaptation (including managed retreat) decisions.
2. Increase our knowledge of potential thresholds and tools that can help address tradeoffs and work through adaptation decisions.
3. Increase our capabilities to design and facilitate processes that help communities address land use and planned relocation decisions more equitably.
4. Increase our motivation to work with partners and communities to implement more equitable processes for land use and planned relocation decisions.
