In 2014, AGCI completed a second study intended to support the City of Aspen in preparing for the impacts of climate change through resiliency planning. More information about the City of Aspen’s resiliency planning effort can be found on their website, www.ourfutureaspen.com.

The 2014 report serves as an update to an initial 2006 report by AGCI entitled, Climate
Change and Aspen: An Assessment of Impacts and Potential Responses. We hope the 2
following report will be a useful complement to the earlier study and that it will make an
important contribution to the City’s work towards resiliency planning. Like the 2006 report, we
are not intending to recommend specific actions or policies to pursue but rather offer ideas,
observations, projections, and stakeholder perspectives that may be useful as a starting point in
engaging the community on preparedness.
