Report Abstract:
Climate Change Training Needs Assessment - Intermountain Region, National Park Service
The National Park Service Intermountain Region (IMR) partnered with the University of Arizona, to assess climate change training needs for over 5,000 IMR employees. We evaluated baseline climate literacy and employee training preferences, and outlined plans for climate change training. We identified the following baseline climate knowledge characteristics: a lack of discernment between climate variability and trends, good understanding of key phenomena, such as El Niño, good identification of observed impacts, but little knowledge of climate projections for the IMR.
