Outdoor Recreation Policy Solutions for Climate Resilience
Recorded Training
From warmer and wetter winters in the South and Midwest to more intense droughts in the Southwest, the effects of climate change are a daily reality for outdoor recreation managers. This 4-part series explores how land managers, communities, nonprofits, and policy makers are proactively designing and communicating in anticipation of more severe weather and responding to events such as wildfires and floods in a collaborative way.
Increasing access to outdoor recreation and making forward-looking investments in recreation infrastructure are solutions that public land agencies must consider as they strengthen the integration of climate change mitigation into decision-making, operations, policies, and program delivery. While the impacts of wildfires, floods, hurricanes, and droughts are complex and far-reaching, the need to consider and integrate multi-faceted solutions - including outdoor recreation - cannot be overstated. This webinar features a panel of outdoor recreation policy and industry experts who are working to ensure that outdoor recreation infrastructure supports proactive solutions as well as disaster response and recovery and that access to outdoor recreation remains a priority for public lands agencies in the face of a changing climate.
