The devastating Marshall Fire spurred the need to understand how climate change impacts natural hazard risks statewide and led to the state’s first Climate Preparedness Roadmap—a collaborative effort that uses a data-driven analysis to paint a picture of Colorado’s risk based on climate models, economic data, population projections, natural systems data, and maps of communities disproportionately impacted by disaster. Speakers will describe the state’s process for working with diverse residents and communities to develop actionable steps that can quickly move the needle on climate efforts and catalyze longer-term progress.
