November 22 and December 15, 2011 – Leveraging investments in climate science and impacts and adaptation research to support business responses to climate change today
Framing note for a two-part webinar series by the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy (NRT) and The Delphi Group
“We have the knowledge necessary to start undertaking adaptation activities in most situations now.” That is a key conclusion of Canada’s most recent science assessment of our country’s vulnerability to climate change. So why do gaps in access to reliable, timely, and meaningful climate change information for business decisions and plans stand out as a barriers to taking action to adapt to a warming world? Whose role is it to close the gaps? What are smarter ways to collaborate within and across private and public sectors to turn data, information, and knowledge into action? What improvements in data and information matter most? The two-part webinar series hosted by the NRT and The Delphi Group on November 22 and December 15, 2011, will explore such questions.
