Cover Story: Climate change will have profound effects on natural resource management, yet managers remain uncertain how to incorporate climate information into planning and on-the-ground action. We developed a training approach that uses active and focused work time and peer-to-peer interaction to overcome observed barriers to using adaptation planning tools. We evaluate the effectiveness of this approach through participant evaluations and the progress of natural resources projects that have participated in our trainings. We outline a case study that describes how this training approach can lead to place- and context-based climate-informed action. We also describe the best practices for engaging natural resources professionals and helping them increase their comfort with climate-informed planning. View this paper.
