Sector Addressed:

Public Health

Summary:

Colorado is implementing climate change adaptation and action initiatives across agencies and scales throughout the state. However, the integration of climate change into public health is limited and planning, implementation, and evaluation efforts are variable across state-, county-, and city-level endeavors.

Summary:

In 2006, Kennecott Minerals applied for permits to develop a mine in the Yellow Dog Plains located in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. To garner support for enhanced environmental protection, the Yellow Dog Watershed Preserve, a watershed protection group, solicited a report to assess the impacts climate change may pose to regional mining practices.

Wildlife

Summary:

American pikas, a cousin of the rabbit, live on boulder fields and talus slopes at high elevations in the Intermountain West. Pikas are particularly vulnerable to increasing temperatures as a result of climate change, and will need to adapt by shifting their ranges to higher altitudes or by finding microclimate refugia that are buffered from extremes.
