Summary Findings, Recommendations and Conclusions

摘要

Resource managers must consider climate change during their planning process as future landscape conditions may vary greatly from conditions currently observed. Small-scale or regional susceptibility analyses are often too broad to provide meaningful results at the site-specific scale required by managers, while larg-escale spatial analyses lack transferability and are often not applicable outside a specific study location. Attendees presented and shared currently available and future capabilities for assessing the implications of climate change for civil-military asset readiness to support disaster forecasting and response. Case studies were demonstrated multi-disciplinary capabilities (e.g., engineering, earth science, social science, policy) that can enhance the deployment of civil-military assets and infrastructure specifically for natural or man-made disaster forecasting and response. This workshop evaluated these current and future capabilities by further defining the problems and challenges that climate change poses to civil-military missions and objectives in the Balkans and over other disaster prone areas throughout Eastern Europe.
