| Description | This document, Preparing for a Changing Climate: Washington State’s Integrated Climate Change Response Strategy offers recommendations on how existing state policies and programs can better prepare Washington State to respond to the impacts of climate change. It urges state agencies to make adaptation a standard part of agency planning and to make scientific information about climate change impacts accessible to public and private-sector decision makers. It also recommends that state agencies strengthen existing efforts to help local and tribal governments, private and public organizations, and individuals reduce their vulnerability to climate change. The response strategy underscores the need to build strong partnerships to support state, local, and tribal adaptation; coordinate activities across sectors; and engage stakeholders and the public. Ecology prepared this response strategy in collaboration with the state departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Fish and Wildlife, Health, Natural Resources, and Transportation. A broad range of stakeholders with policy, management, and scientific expertise participated in four advisory groups and developed a set of recommendations for near- and long-term actions to prepare Washington for a changing climate. (See Appendix A for advisory group members and Appendix B for advisory group recommendations.) This response strategy builds on, summarizes, and integrates the recommendations of the four advisory groups. It also draws on the best available science on the impacts of climate change on Washington from the Washington Climate Change Impacts Assessment and other key sources, as well as Washington’s initial adaptation plan developed in 2008 under Executive Order 07-02. |
