There are a growing number of planning processes and tools designed to meet the challenge of adapting to climate change. However, a common understanding of how these processes and tools relate to one another has been lacking. This webinar will highlight commonalities across existing adaptation planning processes, articulate how mainstream adaptation tools (e.g., scenario planning, the Resist–Accept–Direct [RAD] and Resistance–Resilience–Transformation [RRT] frameworks, structured decision making) relate to the steps in these processes, and offer a generalized approach for climate-informed resource stewardship planning. This shared understanding can support clear communication, efficient coordination, and cross-jurisdictional collaboration in responding to climate change.
