A pilot project on flooding and climate resilience in the Upper Mississippi River basin was recently announced by the National Oceanic and Aeronautic Administration and its partners, including the Upper Mississippi River Basin Association. At least one respondent has questioned whether it is best to study the climate resilience of the river, and its communities, in separate regions rather than looking at the entire river system. The pilot project, titled "Building Knowledge to Support Equitable Climate Resilience," was developed in response to feedback received during a 2021 climate and equity roundtable focused on flood- ing and resilience in the Mississippi River Basin. It was one of eight roundtables hosted by NOAA across the country with underserved and vulnerable communities and bridge organizations to help communities better understand the issues they face in regard to climate change. |
