The importance of adaptation

October 3, Why Adaptive Planning? Decisions with long-term impacts are being made every day Significant impacts of climate change projected within decades, i.e., the timescale of adaptation planning Significant time is required for motivating and developing adaptive capacity and for implementing changes Increasing evidence that it will cost more to retrofit for climate resilience than to build it in in the first place

October 3, Setting the course for adaptation: A guidebook for planning for climate change Provides detailed description of why and how to prepare for global warming at the local/regional scale Collaboration between UW Climate Impacts Group and King County, Washington To be published by ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability Anticipated completion date: Late 2006 Common barriers to planning for climate change – and their antidotes Strategies for reviewing current policies and procedures for implementing adaptive responses Strategies for developing interest and support for planning Tips for managing the risk & uncertainty associated with global warming Guidelines for identifying, reviewing and applying scientific information on climate impacts in your region Sector-specific adaptation strategies and planning resources Content includes

October 3, PNW Climate Maps GIS tool delivers sub-regionally based information on climate and climate impacts. Mapping past and future patterns of PNW climate, including future climate scenarios. Numerous data layers: –Elevation, hydrography (rivers/lakes), watershed boundaries, vegetation and land cover, soils, land ownership, political boundaries Benefit: Designed to aid planning efforts by providing information about the patterns of variability and change at a variety of spatial scales
