Climate Analogs Academy

Our goal is to build Extension and Climate Hub capacity and expertise to catalyze climate change adaptation in U.S. specialty crops.

About the Academy

The Climate Analogs Academy aims to empower U.S. Extension professionals to lead regional climate change adaptation in specialty crops. Our strategy to overcome common pitfalls of climate change education is to focus on building dialogue around technical information and building strategic relationships.

The Climate Analogs Academy is a USDA NIFA Extension Climate Hub Partnerships Project (20236701339348) led by Washington State University’s Center for Sustaining Agriculture and Natural Resources (CSANR).
