Climate Change Response Framework
This framework helps bridge the gap between scientific research on climate change impacts and on-the-ground natural resource management. The framework was designed as a model for collaborative climate change response across large and diverse landscapes, providing a broad approach that can be adjusted and applied to other locations and landscapes.
The Framework process is designed to continually incorporate new information, ideas, and lessons learned into the products and activities. It was conceived as a model for collaborative management and climate change response across large and diverse landscapes and has proven to be extremely successful.
The hallmark of the Framework is the high level of cross-boundary collaboration throughout the forest sector, spanning borders, disciplines, and perspectives. It invites participation of forestlands owned and managed by private individuals, forest industry, Tribes, state, local, and federal agencies. Framework activities also support the USDA Northern Forests Climate Hub.
