GOALS THE NATIONAL ADAPTATION FORUM

National Adaptation Forum Goals Goal: To facilitate connections and engagement across the climate change adaptation community so that every community is developing and implementing climate change adaptation actions. Objectives:

• By 2025, all communities have integrated climate change adaptation into local

planning and are taking associated actions.

• By 2025, climate change adaptation is part of all good governance, business

and community practice. Professional development is available to support this effort in all sectors and geographies, as well as in academic training.

• By 2025, near-real-time actionable science is available to the adaptation

community and general public, and communities are using the information reliably and responsibly.

PRESENTER GUIDELINES

Presenter Guidelines We encourage presenters to take the following steps to ensure we are bridging the equity gap in climate adaptation practices:

• Speakers and panelists should familiarize themselves with data and

perspectives on how the topic of their presentation affects or could inform communities that are most vulnerable to climate change, and includes this in their presentations or discussion

• Sessions, where it is possible and relevant, should explore how climate

justice and equity were addressed, benefited or challenged

• Sessions should provide tangible examples of how equity and climate justice

are part of good adaptation

• If you or none of your session members are from underserved, vulnerable

communities, seek out a story or example to incorporate into your session.

Help Bridge the Equity Gap in Climate Adaptation

Adaptation offers an opportunity change the course of community responses such that equity is central to a climate resilient path forward

• Who should work to eradicate systemic inequities?
• What are the first steps toward alleviating the climate

burden on underserved, vulnerable communities?

• How do we as a society support those least responsible

for creating climate change and are most affected?
