🌍 #Climatechange is here today, not somewhere in the future. To ensure evaluation remains relevant in today’s world, we can't overlook the environmental aspect. This week, we're thrilled to introduce two workshops to kickstart your journey in this crucial area.

Please submit your abstracts to our session on local climate change adoption #AGU2024. During this session, we would like to discuss bridging the gap between data use and effective policy through co-creation, integrating science with real-world applications. We also hope to explore case studies, strategies, and innovative methodologies that empower local and regional planning. We value insights from both social and natural sciences, emphasizing environmental justice and the integration of indigenous knowledge. #ClimateAction #EnvironmentalJustice #CoCreation #SciencePolicy

This was a great day! Sharing the process of Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources identifying what to include in its' carbon footprint with others working through this type of analysis was awesome. Learning how municipalities are taking this information and using it practically in their everyday work was inspiring. #climatepolicy #climateaction #ESG
