Climate Change Training

Using the FWS Strategic Plan for responding to accelerating climate change as a guide, the NCTC is consolidating training opportunities for FWS staff to increase their knowledge of climate science and climate change as they relate to resource management. NCTC is also partnering with others to bring field scientists and practitioners new learning opportunities in the form of courses, workshops, seminars and webinars.

Through these opportunities, participants can examine how to refocus their conservation efforts by applying the Strategic Habitat Conservation (SHC) framework from local to landscape scale through biological planning, conservation design, conservation delivery, decision-based monitoring, and assumption-driven research. Participants will become familiar with new emerging tools such as structured decision making, adaptive resource management, predictive modeling and population viability analysis.
