The Climate Impacts Group is seeking volunteer student note-takers for a one-day, on campus workshop on successful adaptation to climate change on Washington’s coasts. This workshop is assembling ~20 coastal professionals from local, regional, state, tribal and federal agencies who are working on climate change adaptation in Washington to discuss the vexing, yet increasingly important, question “What does successful adaptation to climate change in coastal areas look like?”

Our goals for the workshop are to delve into the concept of successful adaptation through a series of presentations, discussions and activities, to learn from participants’ adaptation experience, and involve leaders in our state in crafting answers to what constitutes successful adaptation. The workshop is part of a larger two-year project to examine the nature, principles, and indicators of successful adaptation, as well as paths toward it. 

We are seeking volunteer notetakers to attend and “record” the workshop sessions. Lunch, snacks, and an evening reception are included, in addition to access to some of the leading thinkers on coastal climate change adaptation in Washington state.

Preference given to those available for the entire session (reception optional).

If interested, please contact Amy Snover, aksnover@uw.edu, providing information about yourself and your climate change/adaptation/coastal background or interest.
