Climate and Hydrology Academic Network for Governance and the Environment (CHANGE)

The CHANGE workshop is a first step towards creating a knowledge exchange network between academic researchers and experts from non-governmental organizations. Knowledge from CHANGE will be communicated to policy-makers working on issues related to water stress, drought impacts, adaptation to changing water regimes due to climate and land use changes, and monitoring water-related issues.

The explicit goal of the network is to foster cross-border cooperation to enhance the use of climate and hydrologic research and better inform North American water policy challenges.

This workshop will be led by an academic research team whose members are committed to communicating the network’s findings to improve decision-making and policies which affect all North Americans.
