Adapting to Climate Change in Minnesota Preliminary Report of the Interagency Climate Adaptation Team

A changing climate has the potential to cause disruptions in ecological, economic and social systems. Adapting to changes in climate includes developing strategies, initiatives and measures to help natural and human systems thrive as our climate changes. Adapting effectively can limit damage, reduce costs, and ease the transition to a changing regional climate. It makes sense to plan ahead to be better prepared to deal with the result of those changes.
