Making progress on climate change in challenging times

Findings and recommendations based on interviews with 65 national, regional and local leaders

This document is a qualitative analysis of the key themes discerned from a series of interviews carried out in late summer of 2010. Five questions covering on preparing and adapting to climate change were addressed to individuals represent climate, environmental and energy advocacy, policy analysis, faith, labour, national security, business, finance, and climate justice organizations working at local, state, regional and national levels. Climate scientists and Congressional and Administration staff members were also interviewed. The report concludes with a synthesis and recommendations for action.
