Summary:

"This report contains the results of Phase I, a synthesis of existing knowledge on training and information needs and preliminary data collection, funded by the NOAA Sea Grant Climate Engagement Project. Phase II will include comprehensive data collection and be funded by the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative and coordinated by Old Woman Creek National Estuarine Research Reserve. Phase II results and recommendations will be compiled as a companion document to this report. These organizations will utilize the results of both phases of this needs assessment to design climate change adaptation training for Great Lakes coastal community decision-makers and professionals. Study results and recommendations can also guide future investments in Great Lakes climate change adaptation training. This issue areas reported here include background information, climate impacts, and relevant roles for stakeholder engagement. This is followed by categorizing needs in two sections: research, planning, and policy needs, and then education and training needs. This information is included in each chapter. Some chapters also include more precise information for specific issue areas that have been placed in the overarching chapter theme. However, these specific issue areas are relevant to numerous issues in the complexity of climate change adaptation, and should be considered in the overall context of both mitigation and adaptation planning"--Executive summary.
