• Abstract:
  The purpose of this report is to illustrate how planning decisions made today will affect central New Mexico's resilience to climate change impacts in 2040. This report first describes climate change impacts in central New Mexico. This report then describes actions that agencies responsible for land use planning and the provision, operation, and maintenance of transportation systems can pursue to increase climate change resilience. The resilience of transportation, land use, and key natural resources to climate change as well as climate change adaptation strategies are then described. This work is being done as part of the Interagency Transportation, Land Use, and Climate Change Scenario Planning Project in Central New Mexico.
