At this Sustainable Land Strategy special topic session, which is the second of a two part series, UW Climate Impacts Group will:
* Share findings from the “Community Knowledge Assessment”, with a focus on identified technical and capacity-building needs.
* Discuss potential pathways to addressing these needs, specifically through 1) identifying opportunities for coordination with both ongoing and upcoming initiatives by floodplain stakeholders and 2) gauging interest on potential new research/work.
Join us on Wednesday, December 8 at 1:30 PM to learn more.
Participants are encouraged to send questions to easinas@uw.edu<mailto:easinas@uw.edu> before the presentation. Please forward this invitation to anyone else who might be interested in attending.

For this upcoming December 8 SLS Special Topics Session, the UW Climate Impacts Group will be facilitating two (2) breakout group discussions, aimed at identifying opportunities to mainstream climate adaptation into existing Integrated Floodplain Management efforts. This workshop will provide a closer look and an opportunity to provide input on the Adaptation Needs Assessment that was presented at last week’s session. You can view the resource documents that were presented last week at this link and a recording of the full presentation will be available online through the farmfishflood.org website soon.
Breakout group discussions will be organized around five (5) Adaptation Themes, which you can review in the attached handout. Given the limited time we have on Wednesday, you will be asked to select only two out of the five adaptation themes to provide input on. Please use the handout to assess which theme might interest you most.
For each of the themes you select, breakout group discussions will revolve around the following questions:
What is already being done that builds towards the success of these adaptation actions?
Which adaptation action are you most excited about and why? For the actions where there is a lot of interest, are there any challenges to implementing?
Are there any adaptation actions that are important, but are missing from this list?
Your input will be used to further refine the Adaptation Needs Assessment, which will be made publicly available early next year.
Join us via Zoom on Wednesday, December 8 at 1:30 PM to learn more (ID: 880 9541 8538). If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please don’t hesitate to contact easinas@uw.edu.
