S.T. Lee lecture: Climate Solutions for Pacific Island Resilience – the Pacific RISA Program

Dr. Laura Brewington (Arizona State University, the East-West Center) will provide an introduction to the Pacific Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments (RISA) program, one of 11 NOAA RISA programs in the United States focused on regional climate science and adaptation. Now in its 16^th year, the Pacific RISA is generating equitable climate solutions in Hawaii and the US-Affiliated Pacific Islands through stakeholder-driven research and applications. Following an overview of the program, Dr. Brewington will share some of Pacific RISA’s current work and potential synergies with climate research programs in Alaska and the Arctic.

The S.T. Lee presentation is being hosted by the International Arctic Research Center.
