Climate Change and Aspen
This report examines potential impacts to, and vulnerabilities of, area ecosystems, socioeconomics, and
climatic conditions. The emphasis of this study is on how mountain snow may change and the subsequent
cascade of impacts. Adaptations can be employed to reduce vulnerability to some impacts, particularly in
the highly managed and built environment. Impacts to plant and animal communities, water resources, and
recreational and cultural pursuits cannot be avoided; however, the extent of these impacts can be greatly
reduced by a low emissions path and adequate planning and implementation of necessary adaptations.
