Climate change is a global phenomenon that is bringing more extreme weather events and warming around the world. In Montana, scientists expect worse weather, bigger fires, outbreaks of invasive species, more frequent flooding and lower flow in the Northern Rockies. But just because climate change is big and complex doesn't mean it's unstoppable or beyond our control. We can take steps to help rebuild resilience in our communities and local ecosystems. At the Clark Fork Coalition, much of our work has some connection to climate impacts—either addressing threats that are amplified by increasingly unpredictable extreme weather events, or implementing solutions that focus on creating refuge, mitigating impacts, and finding efficiencies to reduce stress on the watershed. We also use climate change as a lens to think critically about the future of the watershed and our communities. (Sam Dwyer)
