Bringing Climate Change Into Natural Resource Management: Proceedings of a Workshop (150 pages)

General Technical Report PNW-GTR-706. March 2007. These are the proceedings of the 2005 workshop titled implications of bringing climate into natural resouce management in the Western United States. This workshop was an attempt to further the dialogue among scientists, land managers, landowners, interested stakeholders and the public about how individuals are addressing climate change in natural resource management. Discussions illustrated the complexity of global climate change and the need for managers to consider how the impacts of climate change will unfold across regional and local landscapes. The workshop offered examples of how managers are already responding to those aspects of the global climate change that they can see or percieve. While no comprehensive solutions emerged, there was an appreciation that policy complexity may exceed the science complexity but that eventually the accumulation of local actions will shape the future.
