Climate Change & the Inland Northwest
The Lands Council is increasingly involved in educating our community about climate change, since the predicted changes will impact or local forests and rivers. We are part of Governor Gregoire's task force to help our state adapt to changes in our water supply and we are working with individuals in the business and university sectors to create a climate change center.
Executive director, Mike Petersen, facilitated a workshop at the Bioneers Conference in October 2007 that described the steps being taken in our region to address climate change, including the goals and plans of the newly formed Northwest Climate Change Center. The panelists and workshop participants developed a climate action plan outline for our region to measure progress toward reduction in fossil fuel use. We also explored mitigation and adaptation strategies that will enable communities and businesses to become more resilient in responding to climate change.
