Summary
We propose to facilitate collaborative landscape-scale climate change planning among diverse partnerships in the Rocky Mountains sub-region of the GNLCC. By synthesizing and integrating best-available climate science research and creating a sustained engagement process, we will improve our collective understanding of the climate change vulnerabilities of widely valued natural resources in the GNLCC, help managers develop a menu of options for managing those resources as climate changes, and identify priority science needs for incorporating climate change into natural resource management decisions. This project will create a regional forum for organizational learning and sharing about integrating climate change into natural resource [...]
