CLIMATE CONNECTIONS

WORKSHOP SERIES
Integrating Climate and Planning for South Carolina's Future
The SC State Climatology Office, in collaboration with the Carolinas Integrated Sciences & Assessments (CISA), hosted a series of one-day educational workshops about planning for future climate events and impacts in South Carolina. 

WHO ATTENDED: Individuals who contribute to planning processes such as comprehensive or hazard mitigation planning and floodplain management. There were 166 participants, including speakers and organizers. 

WHAT PARTICIPANTS LEARNED: The workshops provided information about climate trends in each region; tools and resources for accessing climate data and information; and examples of how climate has been integrated into different types of planning processes, such as comprehensive plans and hazard mitigation plans.


We offered professional development hours for floodplain managers, planners, and SC licensed engineers and land surveyors.
