Climate Friendly Parks Workshop, Mt. Rainier National Park

On behalf of the Institute I will be attending the Climate Friendly Parks (CFP) Program this week at Mt. Rainier.  The CFP is a collaboration of the National Park Service and the U.S Environmental Protection Agency, to provide national parks with management tools and resources to address climate change. The program aims to provide national parks with comprehensive support to address climate change both within park boundaries and the surrounding community.

The goals of the workshop will be:

•To educate park employees and park partners about climate change/global warming and the
role each can take in addressing the problem.
•To empower every park employee and park partner to serve as communicator—helping the
public understand global warming/climate change, how the park is dealing with it, and the difference that each person can make.
•To provide a framework and ongoing support for actions to communicate both internally and externally about progress and challenges of becoming a Climate Friendly Park.
•To develop a Park Climate Action Plan with concrete emission reduction goals.

If you have any questions about concessioners and CUA holders in Mt Rainier National Park and the CFP, please feel free to contact me.
