Characterizing climate risks
Central to the U2MCR2H are efforts to combine community and scientific observational records of climate risks, and identify pathways/trajectories that gave rise to these disruptive events, in order to inform local responses to similar events in future.
Finding common ground: Indicator development
U2MCR2H seeks to make climate science meaningful at local scales by working with residents to develop indicators that reflect and address community experiences and priorities, and enable implementation of community-driven solutions in the context of local climate risks.
