Deanne DiPietro and Zhahai Stewart, California Landscape Conservation Cooperative Data Managers, will demonstrate how to use the Climate Commons, an online library of climate change data, related resources, and guidance for applying climate change science to conservation in California. 

Even for those well versed in the field, navigating through and applying appropriate climate data and information can be a daunting effort. Using a case study climate adaptation plan, we will demonstrate how the Climate Commons can guide well-informed decisions for climate-smart conservation. This presentation will provide you the knowledge to:

• Research climate change literature relevant to your location or subject of interest
• Find and obtain data applicable to your work
• Compare across the variety of decision support tools available for climate adaptation
