On April 9th, 2024, the Native Climate team organized a pre-conference workshop at the Extension Risk Management Education National Conference in Salt Lake City, UT. The workshop, titled “All Climate is Local: Unlocking Climate Data,” included presentations on the climate outlook for the US (Kyle Bocinsky), lessons learned from the past to protect the future (Vicki Hebb/Trent Teegerstrom), an overview of the USDA Climate Hubs (Lee Schmeltzer/Dannele Peck), highlights of climate projects (Maureen McCarthy/Jo Ann Warner) and more. Conference participants joined in interactive discussions about climate-weather issues impacting agriculture and agricultural communities and how to help farmers and ranchers access, use and share climate data. Links to some of the presentations shared during this workshop are below.
