Description:
Adapt Alaska - In Alaska, coastal community resilience workshop participants identified issues facing communities and the information needs for action. They also discussed challenges from rapidly changing environmental and climate conditions. These changes have increased the risks to human lives and infrastructure, changed valuable natural resources, and disrupted hunting, fishing, and livelihoods. This website is part of the project outcomes and is meant to be a learning and planning tool for all. Here, you can find: - a concrete set of steps for crafting your own monitoring, mitigation, and adaptation solutions - Alaska-specific web resources, including resources related to funding resilience work.
