Oklahoma Climate Adaptation Planning Kick-off Meeting

The Oklahoma Climatological Survey (OCS) in conjunction with the Southern Climate Impacts Planning Program (SCIPP) hosted a kick-off meeting to begin the process of developing a climate adaptation plan for the state of Oklahoma on the afternoon of December 10, 2009. The meeting brought together more than 60 participants representing a range of organizations including tribal nations, state agencies, city representatives, and federal agencies. A portion of the meeting was devoted to conducting an initial climate planning needs assessment which was accomplished through a table break-out session. Future meetings will be convened to continue this collaborative process with the next meeting occurring as soon as Spring 2010.
