New Paper: Rapid assessment to facilitate climate-informed conservation and nature-based solutions

A new article from the Wildlife Conservation Society (@WCSAdapts), a North Central CASC Consortium Partner, and co-authored by PI Molly Cross, introduces a rapid assessment framework to make nature conservation more resilient to climate change. The authors draw on lessons learned from a decade of funding over 100 adaptation projects designed to benefit wildlife and ecosystems. The new "5Ws" framework offers conservation practitioners initial steps to ensure their work will withstand climate impacts by considering the "what, when, where, why, and who" of their project design.
