Who We Are

Non-profit organizations specializing in climate adaptation planning and community engagement

  • Geos Institute
  • Climate Access

Mitigation vs. Adaptation

  • Climate Action Plan

– Yes!

  • Without mitigation,

increase in global

  • temp. 9○ F or more
  • Need to limit to 3.6○

F or less (2○C)

SLIDE 4
  • 30+ years of worsening impacts – already tied in
  • Sea level rise already 7-8 inches (1-4 ft. or even 8 ft.

by 2100)

  • Longer and hotter heat waves, wildfire smoke
  • First documented climate-caused extinction
  • Spread of ticks and diseases, other health impacts

Mitigation vs. Adaptation

declining air quality

  • Low income populations in high flood risk

areas

  • Loss of quality of life related to natural areas

and outdoor recreation

Adaptation Strategies

  • Link insurance rates to risk

level (but not for low income)

  • Limit development in WUI
  • Increase carbon storage in

trees, soils, vegetation

  • Education and collaborate

with landowners (culture of self-reliance)

  • Restore floodplains
  • Reintroduce beavers
  • Obtain public ownership of

water resources

  • Education and outreach on

water conservation

  • Showcase success stories
  • n restoration, agricultural

innovations, etc.

  • Improve air quality
