                               The working groups will propose potential actions and processes needed to facilitate appropriate responses to climate change and to the increasing
                               need for integrated thinking, with an eye toward the relationship between the working group resource and the ecological, economic, and social
                               implications. These sessions will have fewer presentations and more time focused on participatory discussion among all working group members.
