The Nature Conservancy's Rising Waters Project has been an enlightening process designed to create new connections with diverse stakeholders and get them thinking through Climate Change adaptation. The project helped visualizing Climate Change in the Hudson Valley. Over the course of one year, more than 160 local stakeholders, railroad businesses, emergency responders, government agencies and environmental groups, met at a series of “scenario planning” workshops. These workshops explored the impacts of Climate Change in the Hudson Valley. Groups were given four scenarios to be considered for the Hudson River, each describing different outcomes from 2010 to 2030. Participants began creating strategies for preparing communities to respond to possible impacts of climate change.
