National – Monongahela NF The mission of the Forest Service is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the nation’s forests, not just the national forests. Restoring and Sustaining Forest Landscapes Protecting and Enhancing Water Resources and Watershed Health Making Landscapes More Resilient to Climate Change Responsibly Budgeting for Wildfire Creating Jobs and Sustainable Communities

Climate Change – Monongahela NF DRAFT FS Climate Change strategic framework has seven goals: 1.Science 2.Adaption 3.Mitigation 4.Policy 5.Sustainable Operations 6.Education 7.Alliances Mitigation & Emissions Management - Develop baseline assessments of the carbon balance (stocks and flows) on the forest and range lands and plans for managing this balance in the future. - Reduce energy, emissions, water, and other environmental footprints. Mitigation & Emissions Management - Develop baseline assessments of the carbon balance (stocks and flows) on the forest and range lands and plans for managing this balance in the future. - Reduce energy, emissions, water, and other environmental footprints. Adaptation - Assess the relative vulnerability of key resources of ecosystem elements to expected impacts of climate change. - Set priorities for adaptation activities for those resources and places that are most vulnerable to climate change impacts. - Test and model adaptive land management techniques. - Monitor impacts, changing conditions, implementation, and effectiveness. Adaptation - Assess the relative vulnerability of key resources of ecosystem elements to expected impacts of climate change. - Set priorities for adaptation activities for those resources and places that are most vulnerable to climate change impacts. - Test and model adaptive land management techniques. - Monitor impacts, changing conditions, implementation, and effectiveness. Organizational Capacity - Expose employees to fundamental information on the implications of climate change. - Designate employee(s) to coordinate and be a resource for climate change questions and issues. - Incorporate climate change adaptation, mitigation, or education into staff program guidance, training, and plans of work.
