Emily Rountree leads a unique position supporting climate adaptation partnerships in the Central Midwest, jointly hosted by UCAR CPAESS, NOAA Climate Adaptation Partnerships Program, and the Mid-America Regional Council (MARC) in Kansas City. Responsible for facilitating the incorporation of relevant research findings and analysis into a range of planning, decision-making, and preparedness activities in the Kansas City metropolitan area and more broadly across the four states of Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska, she'll discuss several initiatives she's developed building on existing structures and community-identified needs.
