Presentation Transcript

  1. SENRLG Pilot Approach • Assessment Approach: Look across the Southeast: • 1) Identify natural resources likely to be impacted by climate change. • 2) Identify the programmatic resources, goals and objectives of agency programs. • 3) Create tools to coordinate the science and services identified in 1 and 2 above. • Assess the natural resources and climate impacts that can benefit from SENRLG partners' direct attention. • 5) Prioritize locations under the purview of SENRLG Agencies that are likely to be impacted by climate change.

  2. Goal: Identify Location to Leverage Federal Resources • Cooperative Forestry Programs (FS) • Landscape Conservation • Cooperatives (F&WS) • Coastal and Estuarine Land Conservation Program (NOAA) • Watershed and River Basin • Assessments (ACE)

  3. Variation in Ecosystems

  4. Climate Change Primary Ecosystem Impacts • Mountains • Extreme Precipitation: increase in amount and timing of precipitation • Piedmont • Drought: increase in long or short-term precipitation deficit, leading to a lack of water supply. • Coast • Sea Level Rise: increased sea level due to thermal expansion and global ice-melt. *Definitions from IPCC 4th Assessment Report

  5. Cultural Societal

  6. Benefits of Decision Support through Federal Leadership • Southern Forestland Conservation Partnership – Sustainable forestry • Landscape Conservation Cooperatives – Multi-level partnership using integrated science to address climate change • Southeast Aquatic Resources Partnership – Aquatic habitat protection • Southeast Regional Partnership for Planning and Sustainability – Military base encroachment & species habitat • Gulf Coast and South Atlantic Alliance – State lead for economic sustainability • Partnership for Gulf Coast Land Conservation – Non profit land trust focus

  7. Values – Goals – Objectives: Getting to Performance Measures COMPLETED
