"The primary objective for conducting this study is to increase adaptive capacity by informing and developing climate change adaptation training workshops. To ensure that training meets priority needs and provides accessible and applicable tools and resources, these organizations have collaborated to conduct a needs assessment: a comprehensive front-end evaluation of the climate change adaptation training and information needs of Great Lakes coastal communities. Presented here are the results of a needs assessment completed in 2011, engaging nearly 700 stakeholders across the Basin through interviews, focus groups, and an online survey"--Executive summary.
