<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>This workshop will enhance understanding about the state of the science
related to global climate change, what impacts can be expected on land, water
and ecological resources in coastal regions like Cape Cod, and what it means to
adapt to a changing climate. As research progresses on global change,
there is an increasing need for communities and local governments to better understand
the environmental, social and economic dimensions of this issue and how it is
connected to planning, development, conservation, policy-making and management
efforts at the local level. Vulnerability to climate change impacts will be
addressed as well as adaptation strategies that can be applied to help build
community resiliency. Information and resources to support adaptation
planning will also be provided.</span></font></p>
