College of the Rockies, in partnership with Columbia Basin Trust’s Communities Adapting to Climate Change Initiative (CACCI) is proud to host a presentation by climate change experts Mel Reasoner and Hans Schreier on Tuesday, February 19 at 7 p.m. This free event will be held in the Lecture Theatre at College of the Rockies’ main campus.

Reasoner and Schreier will share the latest information on climate change, its local impacts and how communities like Cranbrook can adapt.  This meets the Communities Adapting to Climate Change Initiative’s aim to transform complex climate change science into meaningful and actionable information for Columbia Basin communities.

“Global temperature changes mean we can expect more extreme weather events, receding glaciers and changes to snowpacks, river flows, growing seasons and more,” said Reasoner. “This has important implications for Basin communities.”

Indeed, communities around the world are recognizing the need to start planning for a future climate that is going to be different than what we’ve known and experienced in the past. With Reasoner focusing on climate science and impacts, and Schreier sharing leading-edge ideas and practices on how communities can more effectively manage their water resources in the future, the evening will provide a learning opportunity for the citizens, local business and community groups.
