1) Discuss and rank the likelihood and consequences of climate risks to the northwest region, 2) provide opportunity to help inform the NW chapter of the NCA, and 3) build capacity for a long term sustained regional assessment process. This workshop served as an initial step toward identifying key risks and vulnerabilities to highlight in the Northwest chapter. A detailed write-up of the workshop description and outcomes was submitted as a technical input to the NCADAC and serves as a resource for the members of the Northwest lead author team as they continue to prepare the NCA Northwest chapter building off the lessons learned during the workshop to further the risk assessment of NW climate impacts. The lead author team held meetings in February and April 2012 and has agreed to write a regional report that is a natural etruetension and a more in depth version of the 8-page NCA NW regional chapter.
