Stakeholder Climate Needs Document List

The Stakeholder Climate Needs Document List provides various reports, workshop summaries, presentations, white papers and other publications related to stakeholders climate related needs in the WWA region (Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming). Documents emerged from several sectors in the region, including water management, recreation/tourism, agriculture, natural resources/wildlife, and tribal concerns. Some documents were general and covered more than one sector; these were classified as representing "multiple" sectors.

This document list was compiled as part of WWA's project on investigating what stakeholders need to manage for climate change and variability. The project utilized a document needs analysis to better understand these needs and to avoid stakeholder fatigue. Contact Lisa Dilling for more information.
