Climate Resilient Communities

The National Wildlife Federation has led Al Gore's initiative to train thousands of people to teach others about the climate crisis. This session will prepare local watershed leaders to begin the watershed-level conversations they need to respond to climate change and help communities adapt to those changes.

This presentation was compiled by Steve Malloch, Vicki Deisner and George Sorvalis from the NWF. It first part covers the basic science of climate change and its anticipated impacts on our freshwater resources, followed by a number of case studies describing how cities across the country are adapting to global warming. The presentation ends with a detailed case study on New Orleans.
