Climate Change Adaptation
Planning Discussion Questions
NMFWA 2014
Background
• The NMFWA meeting provides an opportunity to obtain
geographically diverse feedback from natural resources
professionals from installations with different missions and
operational tempos, and different environmental and regulatory
settings.
• Our objective for the interactive discussion is to consider
opportunities and barriers to climate change adaptation on DoD
installations from a broader perspective than the case study so that
methods and recommendations can be developed that have broad
applicability within DoD. We would also like to hear about the ideas
participants have for climate change adaptation in their particular
situations.
• In your professional opinion, based on your experience please
provide answers to the following questions. Your responses do not
necessarily represent the view in the installation’s Command but
rather it is your assessment of the situation.
Questions
1. What are the primary climate change threats to the
installation (does not have to be exhaustive)?
2. Identify any natural resource climate change
planning and adaptation efforts related to natural
resources occurring at the installation. This can
include small efforts, e.g. inclusion of climate
change adaptation language in the INRMP.
3. What are some key barriers to climate change
adaptation at the installation?
4. What are some adaptation actions that could be
useful in the future at the installation?
