Description
The NPS Climate Change Response Program will sponsor a Scenario Planning training workshop for NPS staff and stakeholders in Hawaii in CY 2012. This cooperative project will support and compliment the NPS training by providing SP expertise and experience, particularly with respect to relevant cultural and community concerns. One of the primary goals is to provide an example of SP that addresses cultural and natural resources, and also draws in a diverse compliment of park stakeholders to focus on climate change. A longer-term goal to begin building a network of parties that will continue to interact with each other, permitting larger-scale, more comprehensive approaches to climate change adaptation and mitigation.
Objectives/Outcomes
Products: final workshop report; debriefing report; and presentations.
