MONROE COUNTY READINESS & RURAL ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY ASSESSMENT
The Monroe County Climate Readiness and Rural Economic Opportunity Assessment is a first of its kind effort to conduct a rapid, comprehensive assessment that brings together climate readiness and conservation-based economic opportunities at a county level. The effort will be initiated as a pilot project in Monroe County, Wisconsin with an approach that will be refined in process, and that can be rapidly replicated in other counties or county groups.
The assessment will utilize a team of specialists working with a host community to conduct a multi-faceted assessment with emphasis on community climate resiliency, built and natural infrastructure, and rural economic development through conservation. The outputs of the assessment will be a foundation for a county or other community of interest to make targeted investments and take the most effective actions to improve climate resiliency and climate mitigation and promote rural economic development actions that protect soil, water, ecosystem services, and vulnerable populations and communities.
