The CIRES Western Water Assessment, in collaboration with Colorado State University, conducted a broad study of climate vulnerability for the state of Colorado. Drawing from existing data and peer-reviewed research, the study summarizes the key challenges facing seven sectors: ecosystems, water, agriculture, energy, transportation, outdoor recreation and tourism, and public health.

CSTPR’s Bobbie Klein coauthored the following chapters: Chapter 3 (Demography, Land Use, and Economics); Chapter 5 (Water Sector); Chapter 8 (Transportation Sector); and Chapter 11 (Moving Toward Preparedness)

Interviews with WWA’s Eric Gordon about the study will be broadcast on KGNU radio’s Morning Magazine on February 5 (8 am), and on Colorado Public Radio’s Colorado Matters on February 4 and 5.
