Michigan State University
has held two recent conferences on “Climate Change in the Great Lakes: Decision Making Under Uncertainty,”
with diverse attendees including researchers, decision makers, educators,
activists, businesspeople, and citizens. During the conferences,
participants identified key messages for decision makers: areas where there is
consensus or at least very broad agreement. These key messages relate to
(a) effects of climate change in the region, (b) ways of making climate-related
decisions given uncertainty, (c) research needs, and (d) prescriptions for
action.
The report summarizing them is available at: http://www.environment.msu.edu/climatechange/2008/CC-key_messages.pdf.
More information -- including conference presentations – is available at www.environment.msu.edu/climatechange
