Climate Adaptation Data Week Overview

The University of Washington’s Climate Impacts Group (CIG) focuses on research, tool creation, and community connection to build climate resilience. Their work includes assisting tribes with vulnerability assessments and adaptation plans, managing trans-boundary water and wildlife projects with Canadian partners, and operating as part of a network of eight regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CASCs) that provide technical advice and projections to policymakers.

• The Climate Impacts Group (CIG) supports tribal climate resilience through vulnerability assessments and adaptation planning, leading to projects such as relocating infrastructure, developing community health programs, and creating educational materials regarding climate impacts on relied-upon species.
• CIG employs a communication strategy that distinguishes between certain knowledge and uncertainty to help decision-makers plan for specific risks while maintaining flexibility for multiple future scenarios.
• CIG engages in trans-boundary collaboration with Canadian partners, specifically the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium in British Columbia, to study the Columbia River Basin watershed and wildlife habitat connectivity.
• The network of eight regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CASCs) and a national office leverages local partnerships to provide projections and technical advice, though the demand for these resources currently exceeds the centers' capacity.
