Carpe Diem West Academy, a non-profit organization that engages a broad-based network to address the impacts of climate on water in the West, is hosting a webinar "Getting Through the Bottleneck - Vulnerability Assessment." Decision-makers often have awareness of the broader impacts of climate change but find it difficult to move forward in the development of adaptation policies. In these cases, climate change knowledge is too general to be applied practically. More specific information is needed. This is where vulnerability assessments come in, which have three main objectives:
• identify who or what has the most exposure to climate change
• determine the range of tolerance for these entities
• characterize the ability of the system, including social and institutional factors, to accommodate climate change.
During this 1-hour webinar, expects will discuss how to conduct vulnerability assessments, how to best share the findings with decision-makers, and important lessons.

4. Wildlife Conservation Society - Climate Adaptation Fund
