Conference 5/12-14: Abt at the 2015 National Adaptation Forum
The National Adaptation Forum (NAF) is a biennial gathering of private and public sector professionals focused on the collective effort to enhance the resilience of the Nation's communities, resources and economy in the face of a changing climate.
Staff from Abt's Environment and Natural Resources (ENR) division will present posters, speak on two panels, and host training workshops at this year's forum. Visit the booth in the exhibit hall to learn more about our work in responding to and preparing for the effects of climate change.
