"Climate change is happening and is expected to continue. What does that mean? What exactly is changing? How could this impact my camp? Is there anything I can do about it?
This session will provide an overview of documented climate trends, the impacts of climate change and how they affect health and safety, and ways camps can build resiliency. Learn about the risks of severe weather, extreme heat, air pollution, and water quality impacts, and changes in insect disease vectors. Consider ways to prepare for acute risks like extreme weather events, and the types of longer-term changes to programming and facilities that can help your camp adapt to and mitigate risk from climate change.
