RISA
The RISA program
supports research that addresses complex climate sensitive issues
of concern to decision-makers and policy planners at a regional
level. The research team members are primarily based at universities
though some of the team members are based at government research
facilities. A few of the researchers are affiliated with non-profit
organizations or private sector entities. Traditionally the research
has focused on the fisheries, water, wildfire, and agriculture
sectors. The program has begun to support research into climate
sensitive public health issues. Recently, coastal restoration
has also become an important research focus for some of the teams.
