CBP CLIMATE RESILIENCY WORKGROUP Cross-Goal Climate Resiliency Analysis and Decision-Making Matrix and Implementation Methodology Climate Resiliency Goal ■ Increase the resiliency of the Chesapeake Bay watershed, including its living resources, habitats, public infrastructure and communities, to withstand adverse impacts from changing environmental and climate conditions ■ ‘…. changing climate conditions are a significant challenge to successful restoration and protection of the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed and recommend a suite of actions to reduce vulnerability over time’ Project Goals ■ Advance outcomes from the Chesapeake Bay Agreement with regard to climate change goals ■ Develop a structured, science-based framework through which the principles of climate-smart adaptation planning can be effectively applied to the existing 29 management strategies in the Watershed Agreement ■ Engage one-on-one with GITs to identify, assess, evaluate and revise climate-related elements of individual management strategies General Approach ■ Tailor the concepts of Climate Smart Conservation Framework to incorporate consideration of climate change vulnerabilities into planned Chesapeake Bay management strategies and restoration actions – Utilize CCAP Adaptation Design Tool and framework as a starting point ■ Use 2 workgroups as pilots to develop the approach: – Wetlands – Protected lands ■ Facilitate a structured approach (e.g., modified SDM) in a set of workshops to work through the process with each pilot workgroup Wetlands Goal/Outcome ■ Next 2 years (by 2018): Restore 15,762 acres; Enhance 30,000 acres ■ By 2025, Restore 85,000 acres; Enhance 150,000 acres CCAP Design Tool ■ Developed to apply Climate Smart principles to coral reef adaptation plans, but highly applicable for incorporating climate change vulnerability considerations into Chesapeake Bay management strategies ■ A structured approach, using a series of three related matrices that guide managers/ stakeholders through the process ■ Focuses on developing “climate-smart design considerations,” two categories of questions related to how climate change is likely to: – impact both the stressors being managed by an action; and – the effectiveness of the action itself Interactions with Wetlands Workgroup ■ Identify core steering group ■ Work with core steering group to: – Clarify the management/restoration actions of importance – Identify and gather relevant Chesapeake Bay climate change vulnerability research/data ■ Discuss relationship/status of other components of the Wetland Workplan (5 management approaches) ■ Compile strategies, actions, restoration/enhancement techniques that are envisioned to achieve the goal/outcome Project Timeline 2016 Task # Activity/Deliverable 1 Conduct literature review 2 Compile existing climate change vulnerability research and data 3 Create Climate Resiliency Analysis and Decision-Making Matrix 4 Prepare and design workshop 5 Conduct pre-workshop calls 6 Conduct first set of facilitated, in-person workshops 7 Prioritize and collect data and information to fill critical gaps 8 Conduct pre-workshop calls 9 Conduct second set of facilitated, in-person workshops 10 Produce synthesis and results write-up May 2017 Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Project Contacts: Zoe Johnson, CBP Technical Lead Susan Julius, EPA Technical Lead Anna Hamilton, Project Manager Jennie Hoffman, Facilitator Hope Herron, Facilitator
