The National Climate Assessment, the US Climate Resilience Toolkit, and Beyond | Hawaiian and Pacific Islands Region

Hawaiian and Pacific Islands Region | Join a climate scientist and developers of the US Climate Resilience Toolkit for a look at the expected climate risks for your region and strategies for integrating climate risk into your design process. Get an in-depth summary of changing and expected climate trends and extremes for each region of the United States. 

The course covers impacts and strategies for design professionals to increase air quality, human health, and the adaptive capacity of the built environment. Course material is based on the US National Climate Assessment (NCA) with specific case study and climate adaptation examples arising from the NCA and its associated resources. The US Climate Resilience Toolkit is featured as a valuable resource for integrating climate risk into the design process. Several updates from the recent UN global report on climate science will also be included. The series includes captured Q&A with the presenters and printable summaries.
