SCIPP Leads Session at USGS and Fish & Wildlife Service Climate Change Regional Workshop

The Southern Climate Impacts Planning Program helped lead two interactive "World Cafe" exercises at a climate change workshop hosted by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (Region 2 and 4) and USGS (Central Region) during August 10-12, 2009 in Austin, TX. The exercise, which allowed groups of land and resource managers (and others) to discuss climate change issues pertinent to their work, was attended by nearly 200 hundred participants and generated a variety of needs and priorities. The SCIPP team is currently evaluating the information collected and synthesizing the exercise findings into a workshop report.
