Climate resilience policies are often implemented locally, and these localized practices may not be shared with decision makers in other regions. Collaboration is needed. Learn how the Pacific RISA is using its role as a science and policy boundary organization and a peer-to-peer framework with different stakeholder groups to advance and accelerate climate adaptation initiatives and policies that consider climate data and models, regional geopolitics, social equity, and financial risk.

Making decisions about the consequences and tradeoffs of land management strategies under a changing climate is complex. Co-developing participatory scenarios with the public and decision makers can help plan for these uncertain futures. Join Victoria Keener (Arizona State University) for a discussion of a multi-year stakeholder-intensive process on Groundwater Recharge to simulate impacts of development, conservation, and climate change. The co-development of participatory scenario planning and modeling can accelerate the uptake of complex climate data and projections into local decision making.
