Lecture Recap and Video: Sharon Collinge on 'Working with Communities to Build Environmental and Societal Resilience'
Land use change results in shifting patterns of species and resources across landscapes and can have a variety of ecological consequences for communities and ecosystems. These ecological changes converge directly with the capacity for ecosystems to mitigate and adapt to climate change. Sharon Collinge will share her experiences working at the interface of land use and climate change in the context of building resilient ecosystems and communities.
