These worksheets can help you create a defensible, climate-informed biological opinion. They can be used as stand-alone tools or to inform existing approaches to deconstructing the biology or action. Or you may prefer simply modifying existing deconstruction worksheets to “ask the climate question;” we’ve provided and example of what this might look like below.
Expect to adapt these worksheets to suit your needs. Do a quick first run-through, then go through again focusing on key areas and adding or deleting questions or categories of change to fit your situation.
