Extension Climate/Extreme Weather Programming: Successes, Challenges and Opportunities

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recommends rapid implementation of climate adaptation and mitigation programs to reduce the chance of increasingly catastrophic climate change impacts. One outlet for this type of programming is through the United States’ Land Grant Institution Cooperative Extension System, which translates scientific research into action. Our team conducted a national inventory of Extension programs to better understand the extent to which climate and extreme weather programs are currently being delivered. Our database includes program details and if they include mitigation efforts, categorized according to Project Drawdown’s climate solutions. We also interviewed Extension professionals who lead these efforts to identify successes, limitations and opportunities associated with these programs.
