The Climate Preparation Commons: Global Warming Science Meets Public Planning In Uncertain Times

Date: October 7, 2008 

Location: Kalispell, MT

Description:

Dr. Dominick DellaSala, Executive Director of Programs and Chief Scientist, National Center for Conservation Science & Policy

There is little doubt that the Earth's climate is changing and it's caused mainly by the burning of fossil fuels and land-use practices.  As the global climate changes, disruptions in natural systems that fuel economies and are the very fabric of life on Earth are already in advanced stages. This talk will focus on what can be done about preparing natural systems and communities for climate disruption, drawing on examples from the Pacific Northwest and elsewhere to provide a framework for a climate preparation commons where humanity and nature work side by side to combat the effects of climate change.
