New England Regional Climate Change Impacts
Workshop Summary Report
| The following Workshop Summary Report was produced as a result of the New England Regional Climate Change Impacts
Workshop, held September 5-7, 1997 at
the New England Center, in Durham, NH. This document will become the basis for continued work to produce a New England Regional Assessment (NERA) on climate variability and change. The NERA will provide New England stakeholders valuable information regarding potential impacts from climate change or variability and suggest possible mitigation strategies. The NERA will also feed into the National Assessment process. A limited number of printed copies are available by Emailing us using the button to the left. The full report or sections of the report can be downloaded below and printed using Adobe Acrobat Reader. |
