The Remaining Regions

After presentations about and discussion of the four regional workshops that had already taken place, brief presentations were made by the organizers of the other regional workshops that were scheduled to occur in the coming months.

A number of common themes emerged from these presentations including:

• the need to engage a wide variety of stakeholders in this process,
• the need to set climate change impacts in the context of existing stresses, and
• the importance of improving communication between scientists and the public.

In addition, several issues emerged that were common to nearly all regions, such as:

• the importance of anticipated changes in water resources, and
• the currently increasing impacts of climate variability and extreme events.

The remaining regions include:

• Southwest/Colorado River Basin
• New England
• Middle-Atlantic
• Northern Great Plains
• Rocky Mountains and Great Basin
• Gulf Coast
• Southwest/Rio Grande River Basin
• Hawaii and Pacific Islands
• California
• Metropolitan East Coast
• Great Lakes
• Appalachians
• Caribbean/Southern Atlantic Coast
• Eastern Midwest

• Tribal Lands

The schedule of regional workshops is presented in Table 2.2.
