A larger context to local-scale climate adaptation actions

, ,

On 21 Jan, AWA Vice President Dr. John Morton presented to the Homer Drawdown group who are seeking a project for local climate action.  The group has focused on peatlands, which sequester carbon but are drying on the Kenai Peninsula because of a warming climate.  This presentation, “A larger context (RAD) to local-scale climate adaptation actions (BDA)”, showed how the Resist-Accept-Direct decision framework can be used  to provide context for local scale projects such as using beaver dam analogs to help restore drying peatlands, as well as provide collateral benefits like better salmon habitat.
