"Charting community futures in a time of surprises..."
This session will focus on becoming better acquainted with you, your community, and your climate focus.
What key values are important for envisioning the future of your community?
What are the major drivers of change?
What are your hopes and fears for what your communities will look like?
What are some challenges or hurdles to achieving the hopes and preventing the fears?

(follow-up events TBD)
Subsequent interactions will delve more deeply into identifying the knowledge and resources needed to reconcile short-term and long-term timescales as coastal communities anticipate and prepare for change.
The continuing goal is to:
better recognize local knowledge gaps, funding needs, and identify regional networks and academic partnerships that could provide knowledge-sharing, training, student internships, and co-developed research projects.
...And anything else participants feel is necessary! The focus is on what communities needs.
This project is made possible through funding by NSF Coastlines and People grant # 1939943 and is co-sponsored by the Maine North Atlantic Institute and the New England Arctic Network.
