The Columbia Basin Regional Advisory Committee met virtually on April 21, 2021 to attend a webinar on climate change projections for the Columbia Basin.
During the two hour session, climate change experts described described historical and future climate changes in the Columbia Basin, anticipated watershed and landscape effects, and impacts to fish and aquatic communities in the reservoirs and river segments managed under the Columbia River Treaty (CRT). How this information is being considered as part of the Indigenous-led CRT ecosystem function studies was also described.
