Adaptation and Resiliency Working Group

The Adaptation and Resiliency Working Group (ARWG) supports the charge of the Commission by developing a comprehensive strategy for reducing​ Maryland's climate change vulnerability, providing state and local governments with tools to plan for and adapt to the more extreme weather and rise in sea levels anticipated as a consequence of climate change. 

Meetings​​

ARWG meetings are hosted quarterly by its chair, the Secretary of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). ​The meetings are typically held online, are open to the public, and a portion of each meeting is set aside for public comment. ​
