Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy

ACCAP works with stakeholders to craft realistic adaptation strategies. We work with people whose decision-making is influenced by climate-related events. These groups include scientists and engineers; state and local planners, policy-makers, and governments; and transportation, natural resource, and land management agencies.

• ACCAP works with coastal residents to assess where they are now, and where to go from here, in terms of marine resources.
• ACCAP works to help communities understand how changing fire patterns may affect landscapes, wildlife, and other resources.
• ACCAP researches and provides decision support for Alaska’s vulnerable and underserved communities.
• ACCAP works to increase understanding of how changing water patterns may affect hydroelectric power, river ice breakup, and natural resource management.
