Connected to the Land: Social Resilience and Vulnerability Assessment
of Land-Based Livelihoods in the Gunnison Basin, CO
Executive Summary | Full Report
Corrie Knapp, graduate student at University Alaska at Fairbanks, assessed the resilience and vulnerability of land-based livelihoods to climate change. Climate change will impact both livelihoods and ecosystems in complex and interconnected ways. In order to understand the best strategies for climate adaptation planning, it is critical that we understand how ecosystems and livelihoods might respond to changes and what types of opportunities and challenges arise from these changing dynamics. This report will help to inform the development of climate adaptation strategies by the Gunnison Climate Working Group.
