Task 4: Develop an Electronic Presentation of the Primers
Participants in your process, and the general public, will need to understand the basics of how the local climate is expected to change over the coming decades, but climate data can be difficult to convey in an easy to understand way and people are less and less likely to read a written report. This task will help you communicate the most important information in the two primers in such a way that busy people and those without a technical background can understand it.
Detailed information about this task can be found in the chapter of the Guide that covers Step 2.
Templates
- No specific templates, but here are a few samples
- A sample presentation using Prezi “Hot enough yet?”.
- A video showing the expected climate impacts for the Louisville Metro region:
- A video using an animated style to show the expected climate impacts for the Town of Truckee, CA:

Please take a moment to evaluate and help us improve the materials for this task.
It is equally important that workshop participants and residents understand key socioeconomic characteristics of the community as well as the natural systems that support it. In this task, you will develop a primer with that information to ensure that process participants are operating from a consistent understanding of how your community works.
Your Climate Trends Primer will be one of the most important tools available to help residents understand why building climate resilience is so important. In this step you will bring the information and data collected in the previous task together to develop an easy to read primer for workshop participants and the community at large.
Climate data and projection information is becoming more accessible to decision makers than in the past. In this task, you will reach out to scientists and other experts to determine what data is available for your planning area and gather the information is most relevant to your process.
