The goal of this workshop is to gather land managers and decision-makers to discuss options for managing resources in the face of climate change, and improve understanding of how vulnerability and adaptation information can be integrated into management and planning. Participants will develop climate-informed adaptation strategies and actions for priority habitats and ecosystem services (Day 1) and island-wide conservation activities (Day 2), and will leave with a prioritized list of actions that can be integrated into current and future management activities across agencies and organizations on the island of Hawai‘i.
