Use these two figures and the "quick" guide below to help you decide how deep a climate change dive you need to do for your HCP. The "worksheets" sub-page has worksheets to help with vulnerability and risk assessment, identifying key "climate questions" for the HCP being developed, and a section-by-section look at the sorts of "climate questions" to ask.

WORKSHEETS

These worksheets provide a framework for a deeper dive into possible climate-related considerations for HCPs. They should be customized as needed for regional climatic changes and impacts. Don't feel obliged to answer the questions in minute detail with the latest and greatest science; use as much detail as the initial scoping suggested was appropriate. You can always circle back and get more detailed if you realize that's indicated.

Start with Worksheets 1a, b, and c.

Summarize the most important parts of Worksheet 1 by filling in Worksheet 2

Use information in both worksheets to help you answer the climate questions (and ask new ones!) in the section-by-section HCP document.
