Many communities in Alaska are faced with multiple threats to infrastructure and quality of life due, in part, to projected changes in precipitation, temperature, and related flooding and erosion. Decision-makers must determine how best to manage their community's vulnerability with the knowledge that future environmental change is uncertain. A webinar hosted by the Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy on Tuesday, Jan. 26 from 10 to 11 a.m. will discuss a newly released report "Decision-making for at-risk communities in a changing climate."
The report, prepared by ACCAP, is intended to inform decision-makers relating to climate change and uncertainty, risk management, and relocation planning. Issues addressed regarding the planning process for relocation focus on the steps from planning through execution, perspectives on community engagement, partial relocation, site development costs, and timing. Sustainability recommendations focus on defining sustainability, future energy planning, planning for a changing cost of living, and available transportation corridors.
Pre-registration is strongly encouraged. To register please fill out the web-form or contact: Brook Gamble, ACCAP outreach and education specialist at 907-474-7812.
