Climate Change: What You Can Do Now (excerpt)

Page 1

The climate change discussion has, to date, largely been led by scientists and politicians. LMI wrote the book from which this excerpt was taken to engage stakeholders in the public and private sectors, and anyone else with a vested interest in climate change—anyone who might otherwise conclude that climate change is the exclusive domain of environmental professionals. The book addresses seven functional areas with real climate change concerns for these stakeholders. The case is made for practical, efficient action. This discussion is rooted in sound, up-to-date science, but is decidedly non-scientific in tone, presenting climate change mitigation and adaptation in a way that’s accessible and relatable. LMI has assembled internal subject matter experts to author each chapter and coupled them with LMI’s climate change experts to create a balanced, realistic discussion surrounding each functional area. Each has achieved senior-level status within LMI, and has provided significant contract support for federal clients by means of research, analysis, and guidance.
