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 Kaua‘i.
