Bring managers and scientists together at the appropriate scales to prioritize research needs that address resource management objectives considering a changing climate.
Prioritize research on questions relevant to managers of near-term risk environments.
Identify and address priority climate change knowledge gaps and needs (e.g., species adaptive capacity, risk and rewards of assisted relocation, climate change synergy with existing stressors).
Develop and use models of climate impacted physical and biological variables and ecological processes at temporal and spatial scales relevant for conservation.
Increase scientific and management capacity to develop management strategies to address climate change impacts.
Collect seeds from and monitor the species most vulnerable to climate change.
