SUMMARY:Forest Paths: distinguished speaker series
DESCRIPTION:
 Dr. David Cleaves, Former Climate Change Advisor 
 with the U.S. Forest Service will present 
 "Forests, people and climate change: a new 
 'no-normal' world."\n
 \n
 Description: Climate 
 change is the most compelling global issue 
 of this and future centuries. The relationships 
 between forests and people are being 
 profoundly affected by the changing climate. 
 It is introducing new challenges to natural resource 
 management, intensifying and complicating 
 traditional threats and stressors and presenting 
 an increasing array of public policy 
 issues and conflicts.\n
 \n
 These changes are not 
 likely to settle down into some new normal 
 in this century. Professional resource managers 
 will develop their careers and make contributions 
 in a context where there will be no 
 normal. Leaders and managers will increasingly 
 be faced with climate change effects, emerging 
 policies, political controversies, a rapidly 
 developing science base and a workforce concerned 
 and educated in sustainability and climate 
 change issues. The next 10 years will 
 be a critical period in defining relationships 
 between forests and people, and how professionals 
 in many areas help adapt those relationships 
 in the most positive ways.\n
