Creatively Addressing Climate Risks- Dr. Kyle Bocinsky, Director of Climate Extension for the Montana Climate Office

Dr. Bocinsky will discuss climate projections and anticipated regional impacts around the country, and we'll explore approaches for understanding the risks to agriculture from extreme climate events like droughts, floods, and heatwaves. We’re looking forward to an interactive group discussion on how to creatively address climate risk and climate-related issues at the local level.
