Southeast Climate Change Adaptation Planning Workshop
The Southeast is already experiencing climate change impacts such as sea level rise and a number of states and municipalities have started planning efforts to respond to these and other potential impacts. To date, however, efforts to plan and coordinate across an entire geographic region have been limited. With climate change likely to affect multiple municipalities and states, a coordinated effort on these impacts will enhance the ability of stakeholders to successfully mitigate these problems.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Office of Water, Office of Air and Radiation, and EPA Region 4 hosted the Southeast Adaptation Planning Workshop in Atlanta, Georgia, on February 2nd and 3rd, 2010. The workshop was open to state, local, and federal governments, universities, nonprofit organizations, and businesses with a stake in long-term climate change adaptation planning and management in the Southeastern United States. The goal of the workshop was to explore how stakeholders from across the Southeast can work together to adapt to climate change now and into the future. More information is available on the EPA website.
