Network of scientists working to measure impacts and develop adaptation strategies. Status of Coastal Communities Climate Change Efforts in Wisconsin (Lake Superior vs. Lake Michigan) Challenges Sea Grant Climate Network Workshop - Charleston, SC November 9-11, 2009 Goals and Objectives for Climate Change Planning for WI Coastal Communities Goal: Inform coastal communities about climate change and provide regional support for climate change planning. Objectives: Provide education to coastal communities about climate change. Inform local officials about the effects of climate change on municipal governments. Provide information about the benefits of reducing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. Encourage and assist communities with planning for climate change. Incorporate climate policy into current planning efforts. Sea Grant Climate Network Workshop - Charleston, SC November 9-11, 2009 Climate Change Planning for WI Coastal Communities Proposed Action: Work with a coastal community to develop climate change mitigation and adaptation goals, objectives, and an action plan to provide an example and template to further assist other coastal communities. Needs: Information about the anticipated climate change impacts to municipal government. Recommendations for specific climate change adaptation actions for Wisconsin’s coastal communities. Information about the economic benefits of climate change mitigation and adaptation. Outreach assistance to inform local officials and citizens about the effects of climate change in Wisconsin and encourage action to mitigate and adapt.
