Summary
The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of the key vulnerabilities that climate change and climate variability will pose for Colorado’s economy and resources in order to provide state agencies, local governments, and others with background for preparedness planning. Readers should recognize that climate-related impacts interact with major other stressors, such as changes in the economy or demographic shifts, to produce net effects that can vary across the state or over time.
