Given concerns about continued availability of federal climate info, @cig-uw.bsky.social is hosting a webinar reviewing resources for supporting climate preparedness in WA & the NW, feat. @meadekrosby.bsky.social & Guillaume Mauger 👇

📊 Climate Resources Roundup
🗓️ 10/16 @ 1 pm PT

Got 8 minutes? You can view Meade's #PNWClimateWeek presentation and learn how actionable science is integral to building climate resilience for both people and nature. youtu.be/n1jjf4aIPHQ?... @meadekrosby.bsky.social @uwenvironment.bsky.social

"There's a lot of evidence that shows that the stronger a community's social cohesion is, the better chances they have of resilience from climate hazards," said Rishi Sugla, climate resilient scientist at the UW Climate Impacts Group. @uofwa.bsky.social @nwcasc.bsky.social

Enjoyed listening to our @uwenvironment.bsky.social Inclusive Excellence Fellows present their final project proposals. Projects ranged from improving access to field experiences to mentoring programs for college staff. @uwsafs.bsky.social @uwess.bsky.social @uwmarinebiology.bsky.social

The climate research program made it possible for communities to connect with researchers to find solutions to extreme heat, forest fires & rising sea levels, said Esther Min, a UW assist prof & w/ Front and Centered. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news... @cig-uw.bsky.social @meadekrosby.bsky.social

More on recent termination of the NW Climate Resilience Collaborative and concerns for remaining NOAA Climate Adaptation Partnerships (CAPs).

"NOAA’s investment in CAP program was one of the very few to say, very explicitly, go see if you can solve problems in your region, full stop."

We are deeply saddened to report that the funding for the Northwest Climate Resilience Collaborative has been terminated effective immediately. This is a devastating setback for climate resilience in rural and Tribal communities in the PNW. Read more>> cig.uw.edu/2025/05/cig-... @nwcasc.bsky.social

The dismissal of National Climate Assessment authors this week and notice that its scope is being "reevaluated" leaves the door open to a compromised report serving fossil fuel interests at the cost of American communities.

I talked to John Vause about this concern on CNN International last night.

We are now accepting applications for our 2026 Faculty Fellowship Program — supporting NW CASC Consortium faculty to take research beyond peer-reviewed 📄s to formats more easily accessed, interpreted and applied by resource managers!

Federal Funding Uncertainty & Potential Program Impacts: Read our letter about how #federalbudgetcuts to #climate science could impact the PNW Region 👉 cig.uw.edu/2025/04/cig-... @nwcasc.bsky.social

I talked to the Seattle Times about how loss of our region's Climate Adaptation Science Center and NOAA Climate Adaptation Partnership would slash our capacity to support NW climate resilience.

“If the (centers) are eliminated, then our resource managers are going to be flying blind,” Krosby said."

📢Welcome Susan Dickerson-Lange, our new director! Among many duties, she will provide strategic leadership as we remain committed to advancing climate resilience in the PNW. Learn more about Susan👉 cig.uw.edu/2025/03/susa... @nwcasc.bsky.social

The new Washington State Climate Office website is live, making climate data & forecasts easier to access for communities across the state. As a longtime collaborator and now home to WASCO, we’re thrilled to see this milestone! Check it out: 🔗 climate.uw.edu #ClimateResilience
