From Allison Chatrchyan, CCE-Dutchess County amc256@cornell.edu:
Cornell University faculty, staff and Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) educators recently formed a new Program Work Team (PWT) to develop and disseminate information on how climate change will affect New York State. Collectively, the Climate Change PWT members will be developing research-based materials describing how climate change will affect New York’s communities and resources, and how individuals, communities, and stakeholders can both mitigate their impacts on the climate and adapt to the climate changes that will continue to occur.
More information is available via our website (http://www.climatechange.cornell.edu) and we will continually update and add new resources to that site. The PWT will be communicating with stakeholders via a Cornell email listserve, and organizing several meetings and training opportunities per year.
Please let us know if you would like to be involved with the PWT, would like more information, or have suggestions on information needs of groups you work with. We can be reached by emailing Dave Wolfe (dww5@cornell.edu) and Allison Chatrchyan (amc256@cornell.edu).
