 | Adapt-In-Place Workshop | Alaska Sea Grant’s Adapt-in-Place workshop brought together community leaders from across the North American Arctic to discuss climate adaptation and resilience. Building upon previous “Adapt Alaska” workshops held throughout the state, this event facilitated dialogue between community leaders, elders, and youth to bring climate adaptation plans into on-the-ground resilience projects. In the face of the serious threats posed by climate change, human and community relationships are one of the greatest tools communities hold. | workshop southwest |
